The mission of the Boston Red Sox Behavioral Health Program is to develop competitive advantages in performance and mental health arenas through quality programming, in-depth relationships with players and uniform staff based on trust and reliability; clear, effective, and integrated performance enhancement strategies for players; and seamless collaborations with player development, sports medicine, baseball operations and coaching staffs to serve the overall goal of maximizing player performance and winning championships. The program is committed to addressing the needs of the whole person - the demands players and staff face on and off the field - to fuel the needed resilience and balance required to attain our goals over the course of the season and year.
