In this powerful episode of Athletes OnBalance, we explore the journey of Mark and Kym Hilinski, who turned their personal tragedy—the suicide of their son, Tyler—into a mission to prevent similar losses in the athletic community. Through their organization, Hilinski's Hope, they aim to reduce the stigma around mental health and promote awareness, education, and early intervention. The Hilinski’s share their story and the inspiration behind their work, highlighting the critical need for proactive mental health programs and supportive coaching. Join us as we discuss the impact of public figures speaking out about their struggles and envision a future where mental health issues are treated with the same importance as physical injuries, fostering a supportive environment to prevent suicide, and promote well-being in sports.
