Girard announced he is getting treatment for alcohol abuse and mental health issues
By Austin Nivison • 1 min readColorado Avalanche defenseman Sam Girard has announced he is entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. On Friday night, Girard opened up about his mental health struggles and alcohol abuse.
Girard released a statement through CAA, the agency that represents him, and said he was dealing with untreated anxiety and depression. Those issues led to problems with alcohol abuse, and Girard knew that he had to get help.
"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my mental health, and will be entering treatment for severe anxiety and depression that has gone untreated for too long and led to alcohol abuse. Taking care of your mental health is of the utmost importance, and I encourage everyone to speak up and seek help should you feel like you need it. I want to express my gratitude to my wife, family, friends, the club, my teammates, and the fans for their patience, understanding, and continued support."
Girard will now go into the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, which allows players a private way to get the necessary help issues like mental health and addiction.
