Athletes’ families often require significant support, as the life of an athlete can be demanding, challenging, and uncertain. Spouses and partners experience considerable stress as they manage strict schedules, household responsibilities, childcare, and other family matters, often on their own. Media/ public attention, travel, relocation, finances, personal career development, and retirement add to a family’s chaotic environment. Emotional support is crucial for their health and the family unit.
PSS provides spouses a safe space to process their experiences with the necessary resources and assistance to thrive in this unique and demanding sporting environment.
