Mental Health Speaker Series
The CBHS Counseling Center, with support from community partners, presents an annual speaker series focusing on mental health and well-being of the young men entrusted to our care. We invite you to join us, hear, and learn from these speakers, their experiences, and expertise.
Jason Kuhn
"Overcoming Adversity"
Tuesday, September 10 at 6 p.m.
CBHS Auditorium
Jason Kuhn is a former Navy SEAL and D1 Athlete. He holds an MS in Global Leadership and pitched for a top 25 nationally ranked NCAA baseball team before joining the Navy after the attacks on the World Trade Centers in 2001.
On the path to professional baseball, his dream was crushed by a crippling case of the "yips" throwing 6 wild pitches in a single inning, the most ever in the NCAA. Devastated but determined to overcome, he is now considered an expert in human performance and the best source in the world at defeating the yips.
Jason will speak to our students during the day on Tuesday, September 10 during their Activity Period.
