An OSU‑Cascades Science Pub takes a research‑driven look at the connection between youth sports and mental health. The talk explores how youth sport systems have become increasingly competitive—and what that shift means for children and teens. Learn how evidence‑based approaches can help reshape sports into environments that prioritize well‑being, equity, and healthy development. A valuable program for parents, coaches, educators, and anyone interested in youth wellness and community‑impact research.
