Two years ago, Sam Poulin made the courageous decision to step away from hockey and prioritize his mental health by returning home for support. The young forward recognized the importance of addressing his well-being and sought the help he needed during a challenging time in his life. Since then, Poulin has been vocal about his experiences, aiming to shed light on the often-stigmatized topic of mental health within the sports community.
In his discussions, he emphasizes that taking a break is not a sign of weakness but rather an act of strength and self-awareness. Poulin hopes to inspire others facing similar struggles to seek help and understand that they are not alone. He believes that open conversations about mental health can foster a supportive environment, encouraging athletes and individuals alike to prioritize their mental wellness. His journey serves as a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health in achieving overall well-being.
