Collegiate Behavioral Health Associates, an organization providing full-service mental health care to college athletes, sheds light on the new mental health legislations proposed by the Chief Medical Officer of the NCAA and their program being the solution for many institutions.
The recent data underscores the insufficiency of existing mental health resources across the country and emphasizes the necessity for improved guidelines that place mental health at the forefront. This was further highlighted when Dr. Jeffrey A. Fishbein, the Chief Psychology Officer of Collegiate Behavioral Health Associates, attended a webinar titled ‘Game, Set, Mindset: Navigating Mental Health In Tennis,’ hosted by USTASoCal. During this event, Dr. Brian Hainline, the Chief Medical Officer of the NCAA, shared his insights on mental health in collegiate athletics, including proposed legislation to commence in January 2024.
In the webinar, Dr. Hainline outlined four key goals that “every institution must follow as it’s legislated”:
Creating an environment that supports mental health-seeking and wellness.
Implementing mental health screenings for all athletes.
Identifying and rehearsing both routine and emergency mental health care plans.
Identifying who the institution’s licensed providers are.
With these key objectives in mind, NCAA member institutions must carefully evaluate the readiness of their existing mental health care systems to align with the forthcoming 2024 mandate. Collegiate Behavioral Health Associates has been diligent in verifying that its comprehensive mental health care program encompasses vital components of these mandates. These include mental health screenings for all athletes and facilitated connections to licensed therapists providing a supportive mental health environment. Furthermore, CBHA has established robust emergency mental health protocols to address situations where an athlete may pose a risk to themselves or others.
While certain institutions and mental health companies might offer specific aspects such as nurturing mental health environments via app-based resources or providing optional mental health screenings, none comprehensively address all four of the specified objectives. This positions CBHA as the sole known comprehensive mental health company primed to encompass all four key goals of the mandate.
“Our organization has been proactively preparing to address all facets of the forthcoming document, as outlined by Dr. Hainline,” Steve Wigginton, Chief Executive Officer of CBHA acknowledged. “We have a responsibility to reach out to universities and ensure they are well-prepared ahead of time, avoiding rushed, suboptimal solutions. Undoubtedly, we are not only equipped to meet these stricter mandates but also offer universities an accessible, no-cost solution.”
CBHA stands ready to lead the charge in fostering mental well-being and compliance with the new NCAA mandate for all collegiate institutions across the country.

But world famous theoretical physicist Albert Einstein provided us an important clue to confidently know the answers to our own personal challenges through his proclamation, “A problem cannot be solved on the level at which it appears; it must be solved on a higher level.” According to Yoga Scientist Leonard Perlmutter, “The AMI Meditation Foundation Course enables students to become proficient in accessing and employing that ‘higher level’ of intuitive wisdom” spoken of by Einstein––so their choices in life can enable them to resolve their own seemingly unresolvable issues with a brilliance of confidence and an imperishable comfort.”
In December of 2022, “Lifestyle Medicine,” the premier international publication of applied lifestyle medicine, published the results of a five-year, peer-reviewed clinical study to determine if individuals can learn to live a happy, healthy and rewardingly creative life by employing Perlmutter’s Foundation Course curriculum. The findings included the following positive, life-enhancing, health-promoting changes: Burnout was reduced 23.3%, Secondary Traumatic Stress was reduced 19.9%, and Compassion Satisfaction was increased by 11.2% among physicians and other healthcare providers.
According to Leonard Perlmutter, “Our modern American culture now faces a golden opportunity to go beyond its impoverished rigidity, superstition, blind customs and dogma to attain the spiritual and philosophical wealth necessary to solve all of life’s challenges. Today, a new reliance on Perlmutter’s proprietary Foundation Course curriculum as our guide can make it possible for each of us to establish greater personal security, creativity and peace of mind. As increasing numbers of people begin experimenting with the profound gifts of Yoga Science to determine their thoughts, words and deeds, they are destined to become both prophets and beneficiaries of the “higher knowledge” once articulated by Albert Einstein.”
Mr. Perlmutter’s books, [YOUR CONSCIENCE], as well as his seminal work The Heart and Science of Yoga® have been endorsed by medical pioneers Dean Ornish MD, Bernie Siegel MD and Larry Dossey MD. Leonard has taught workshops on the benefits of Yoga Science and Philosophy at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Kaiser Permanente of California, numerous medical schools, “The New York Times” forum on Yoga, and the United States Military Academy at West Point.
According to recent course graduate, Donald Starzinski MD,”As a Neurologist with a keen interest in Integrative Health and Wellness, I would strongly recommend the “Foundation Course” to both physicians and non-physicians. It was life-changing for me in all my relationships––both personal and professional.”

The partners are tackling challenges ranging from data governance (using a federated storage-based approach), platform and model development (empowering community-driven model development) to interpretation of signals working with local governments and translation to actionable insights, equity, funding and implementation. It is expected that this partnership will have an outsized impact in the Global South — as 75% of Pasteur Network members work in laboratories for the ministries of health in the low and middle-income countries (LMICs) — with an initial focus on vector-borne diseases of dengue virus and malaria.
“This partnership marks an important step toward unlocking untapped potential across a leading global infectious disease network,” said Dr. Rebecca Grais, executive director of Pasteur Network. “Unlocking network potential can transform separate initiatives into a global engine of discovery and more equitable, actionable public health information.”
GeoSeeq is designed to overcome cross-border data-sharing challenges and preserve data sovereignty while still allowing data to be indexed and connected on a common platform. With this capability, the partners anticipate connecting more than 40 million data points over the next three years. This will drive new collaborations, facilitate discovery and enhance response to infectious disease threats. It will also enable impactful data-driven health responses, create new infectious disease dashboards for ministries of health and support the development of novel therapeutics, biological discoveries and vaccine design.
“Through this partnership, we are launching an ambitious, open and dedicated international effort,” said Dr. Christopher Mason, president and cofounder of the GeoSeeq Foundation. “Pathogens move readily across nations’ borders; thus, collaboration should also seamlessly move internationally between scientists, physicians and policymakers. This partnership is an essential step toward making this vision a reality.”
“Too often, groups feel isolated in their fight against infectious diseases,” said Dr. Amadou Sall, director general of Institut Pasteur de Dakar and president of Pasteur Network. “This partnership helps to level the playing field, providing support and tools for local groups to tackle regional problems that affect their local communities.”
About Pasteur Network The Pasteur Network is a vast human and scientific community with more than 30 members in over 20 countries contributing together to global health. Located in the heart of endemic areas, the network has privileged access to a large number of pathogens that it monitors and studies on all five continents. This exceptional diversity makes the Pasteur Network a unique global actor in public health, science, innovation and education, especially in the fight against infectious diseases.
About GeoSeeq Foundation GeoSeeq Foundation is a nonprofit empowering infectious disease researchers and public health agencies globally to track, understand and control infectious disease threats.

Palo Alto, Calif., Oct. 31, 2023— Launched today, Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired (Waterside Productions) by the highly-regarded psychologist and executive coach Yosi Amram, Ph.D., introduces a fresh perspective on leadership and offers practical insights for individuals and leaders seeking to inspire and empower authentic and purposeful leadership.
In Spiritually Intelligent Leadership: How to Inspire by Being Inspired, Dr. Amram, a pioneer researcher in spiritual intelligence, provides a compelling roadmap that equips leaders with the means to connect with the true source of their authentic power and presence deep within themselves. Within this book, he explains that spiritual intelligence profoundly shapes our experiences and functionality in all aspects of life. Through research as part of his doctoral studies in transpersonal psychology, Dr. Amram found that spiritual intelligence begins to grow when we connect to the depth of our being, our spirit, whereby we are naturally inspired, empowered, and are most inner- and inter-connected.
“Spiritual intelligence is not religious belief in a higher power or deity, but rather our life force emanating from our connection to the core of our existence – our spirit,” said Dr. Amram. “We cannot inspire others unless we are inspired ourselves. Through my latest book, Spiritually Intelligent Leadership, executives and other leaders will learn how to motivate their workforce, build, manage, and inspire high-performing teams with heart, to lead thriving organizations, all while experiencing greater fulfillment and joy.”
In Spiritually Intelligent Leadership, Dr. Amram provides real-life case studies of CEOs who confronted and overcame substantial challenges within their work settings through spiritually intelligent leadership. With each quality and dimension of spiritually intelligent that is outlined in the book, Dr. Amram incorporates “Your Turn” transformative exercises for readers to put the concepts into practical use in their own lives.
Dr. Amram will host the official virtual launch party on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, at 1 PM PT. You can register to join here: weavinginfluence.zoom.us.
