In episode 6 of 'telling their stories', coach and teacher, Kevin Garbuio out of Fort McMurray, Alberta, speaks about the mental impact on his athletes from the forest fires, the floods, COVID, and the downturn of the economy - specifically the oil prices.

Coach Garbuio shares with us how he and his coaching staff are working to get better at being able to help their young football athletes work through these circumstances by being pro-active and reaching out to mental health professionals to get training for them as a staff, but also to get help for the athletes and parents.

Listen to the amazing work Coach is doing and some of the great initiatives and awards they have been able to get in order to fund these projects.

Thank you, Kevin, for seeing a need to get better, for bringing in much needed resources for your staff and players, and for loving your program and the community you live in.
