The Assist

After months of work, we’re proud to share the launch of the Towards Safer Sport for All: Athlete Survivor Advocacy Toolkit, a free resource created to support advocates and service providers working with athlete-survivors of sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

This toolkit was built to help people:
• recognize the signs of abuse in sport
• better support athlete-survivors
• navigate reporting systems and accountability processes

Explore the toolkit and share it with someone who may need it: https://resources.theathletesurvivorsassist.org/

The Assist is proud to attend the 2026 Safe Sport International conference virtually alongside leaders, allied organizations, and advocates working to strengthen athlete safety around the world.

These conversations matter. Creating safer sports environments requires continued education, accountability, and survivor-centered action across every level of athletics.

We’re grateful to be part of a global community committed to supporting athletes and advancing meaningful change in sport.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that what you see on the surface isn’t always the full story. Take time this month to check in, look closer, and support what you can’t always see.

In sport, performance is often prioritized at all costs, but safety and wellbeing can’t be optional. Athletes deserve environments where they are protected, supported, and believed. Performance should never come before protection.
