Charlie Rifenbark,
Former High school, College, Arena, and European Professional Football Coach
Without question working with Dr. Foster is one of the highlights of my coaching career. The same way that nutrition, strength and conditioning, and performance psychology is often attributed to a program’s success, the ability to have an expert in mental health specific to athletes covering the areas off the field is critical to student and program success.
individual Consultations
I can assist you in knowing what questions to ask while interviewing to illicit information regarding mental health concerns.
I can help you interpret the information you've received and point out areas of concern that could affect the athlete and their experience within your program.
I can help you determine the best support for athletes that are presenting with mental health issues.
Group consultations
Need a staff training on identifying signs of mental health illness, ending stigma, suicide prevention, multicultural/diversity concerns, or creating a culture that promotes health seeking behaviors?
I can customize a training program for your team’s specific needs.
Speaking + Presentations
I'm able to cover a wide range of topics within mental health, multiculturalism, student athletes and the interplay of each. Whether your preference is a very specific topic, or a more broad based general informational overview, I can design the presentation to fit your needs.
