Case Study: Major League Baseball achieves cultural change in sports wellbeing with Unmind

Major League Baseball supports 1,300+ staff and 7,000 umpires with Unmind

Major League Baseball (MLB) faced a challenge with mental health being traditionally overlooked and stigmatized within its organization. The existing resources, including in-house psychologists and employee assistance programs, were insufficient for meeting the evolving needs of its players, umpires, and staff due to the high-pressure environment. To address this, MLB partnered with vendor Unmind and its Unmind for Leaders platform to provide more proactive and personalized mental health support.

The solution involved implementing Unmind's science-backed platform, which offers accessible, self-guided tools and bite-sized content for users to measure and improve their wellbeing. This partnership has been instrumental in reducing stigma and promoting a more positive and supportive workplace culture across the league. By providing these resources to over 1,300 corporate staff, 7,000 umpires, and Minor League players, Unmind has helped MLB set a new standard for mental health in professional sports.
