Behavioral Health

---

Over the past year, PCF has dedicated time to expanding and progressing the growth of our behavioral health programs and services for former players and their families.

It was an instrumental year of strategy and development, which has paved paths for new programming and a more thoughtful and intentional delivery of services. PCF’s newest program, The Sober Living Fund (SLF), was created for former players who are suffering from substance use and co-occurring disorders by providing sober housing while they continue to participate in treatment.

"The SLF complements existing programs by assisting former players in accessing primary treatment such as detox and inpatient treatment. It is our hope that sober living assistance will afford former players more time to participate in rehabilitation services which will foster a more positive recovery experience and achievement of sobriety.


As we move into 2026, PCF will maintain the momentum from 2025. We have invested in data analytics, which will better inform us of service and program needs of former players, as well as lead to future developments of service and educational programs. We will also reignite the behavioral health screening program at the Healthy Body & Mind screenings, providing screenings for depression, anxiety, substance use and chronic pain.
