HONOLULU (HI Now) - Student athletes carry full schedules, high expectations and constant pressure to perform, and Hawaii Athletics created Rainbow Wellness to make sure they never have to carry the mental load alone.
Led by Director of Mental Health and Counseling Services Kelly Hee, the program provides dedicated counseling, proactive mental health resources and a supportive team culture built around the unique needs of college athletes.
Rainbow Wellness focuses on everyday wellbeing as much as crisis support, with services that help student athletes manage stress, build resilience, stay connected and thrive on and off the field.
The team is growing to meet rising demand, and continued support from fans and the community helps expand care, strengthen resources and keep mental health at the center of the student athlete experience.
