Chamique Holdsclaw, mental health advocate, former WNBA All-Star, and daughter of two parents with alcoholism, takes us through her youth, remarkable career in collegiate and professional basketball, and sudden mental health crisis that turned her pain into strength to become a mental health advocate for high-performers. In this episode, Chamique explains how Alateen helped her understand the disease that her parents suffered from, and ultimately build resilience during a time in which she needed it the most.

Alateen is a resource for teens who are experiencing the effects of someone else's alcohol use. If you have more questions, visit: https://al-anon.org/newcomers/teen-corner-alateen/
