The Major League Baseball Players Association announced Wednesday that it is starting a new mental health and wellness program for players in recognition of May being Mental Health Awareness Month.
The announcement explained that it is "a groundbreaking initiative to support the holistic well-being of major league and minor league players and their families."
It also explained that the program is independent from the league and teams for confidentiality reasons and another resource for players to utilize.
Dr. Jonathan Fader is running it, and he has plenty of experience in the world of sports considering he is the former team psychologist for the New York Mets and the former director of mental conditioning for the NFL's New York Giants.
