The objective of this project is to develop a portrait of the mental health of developing athletes from a longitudinal perspective, considering individual and sport-environmental risk and protective factors. The project also aims to identify barriers, facilitators and needs in terms of access to mental health support resources, according to key players in the sport community. The project is conducted in partnership with the Fondation de l’athlète d’excellence du Québec, the National Match Plan Program and the Institut National du Sport du Québec.
