Supporting mental health for kids

Every kid deserves a chance to win in life

I'm Locker Room Speakers Founder Tim Claiborne. I'm an advocate for the neurodivergent and those with mental health challenges. I've been battling complex brain health issues since I was a young kid that have greatly impacted my life. I often wonder how life could've been different if got the help I needed as a kid. The Child Mind Institute is doing incredible work in the areas of care, education, and science related to children's mental health.  I’m happy that other kids have a chance to get the help they need and do better in life than I did. Every kid deserves the best possible opportunity to win in life. I'll be donating a portion of all revenue to the Child Mind Institute through the end of 2026. I encourage everyone to learn more about the important work they are doing and consider supporting the mission. It could change the life of a child you care about.


The athlete community stands out when it comes to leading on issues of mental health. Many of our speakers share their experiences with mental health challenges, and we're seeking to better educate coaches, teachers, and parents on how they can supports kid with mental health challenges.

Athletes are leading in reducing stigmas surrounding mental health

Athletes have been some of the most influential and visible members of society speaking out on mental health issues and sharing their own personal stories. This is especially true for young boys and men who often believe that seeking help or sharing their feelings is not something men don't do. A recent study revealed that 40% of males have never spoken to anyone about their mental. We want to help change this and create better mental health outcomes for all young people.
