>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7news. >> may is mental health awareness month and this week, abc 7 is focusing on your mental health. a student athlete ran organization is working to break down the stigma of mental health and athletics at universities. dustin dorsey shows us how athlete at san jose state are playing a part. reporter: athletes are often described as people of strength, like spartan warriors, you have to be tough and never show weakness. but there's more to strength than what meets the eye. >> there is this barrier on if you are performing your best and executing your best, then mental health should not be there. i think that is something we are trying to tackle. reporter: born from the oregon state beavers program, it is a student run organization highlighting the importance of mental health in athletic

programs, including here. the stigma of mental health and athletics is broken down through events where athletes build strong minds and hearts, from bringing calm to their life or holding open forums to share similar struggles to unite. >> people come from different backgrounds and different stories. and just to see the similarities with each other and just to be able to come together and have that moment with each other so it can make all the events more impactful. reporter: resources are not always in abundant supply. the nation learned the importance of that. a student athlete advisory committee brought this resource to campus to make a difference, to try to ensure nothing like that happened to spartan athletes. >> in just a semester, it has touched a lot of athletes and we are able to hear great stories from our athletes about their own struggles with mental health and their thankfulness for this program and breaking down the stigmas.

>> i think being able to know that there's people around you that are here to support you, it is important to be united. reporter: athletes often train their bodies on the field, but they are not training their minds beyond athletics to be stronger as one spartan nation. >> whether you are a student or on-the-job, stress and anxiety are something many deal with. joining me is dr. jonathan horowitz with the stress and anxiety center to talk about stress in the workplace. take you for joining us. >> thank you for having me on and think you for covering this topic. it is an important one. ama: let's start with the pandemic. the past two years have been difficult for many of us. i assume there has been more anxiety and uncertainty about what is going on in the world and the workplace? >> i think the pandemic has driven up general levels of

anxiety and uncertainty and what we know is mental health conditions are getting more prevalent and getting worse. people are showing up to work and a lot of them are dealing with mental health concerns they had at home because we bring our whole selves to work so it is going to impact the experience. ama: that is a good point. we saw a lot of people quitting maybe because of that. it has been called the great resignation. is it healthy to just quit? do you need another plan set up? what is your take on that? >> it is a complicated thing. there's evidence that it is still happening. i read that one in three people are planning to leave their jobs this year, some going to different industries. for some, it is going to be a good idea, they are going to land someplace that is better for them. for some people, though, we don't know. for some people, we are in the honeymoon phase of the remote thing where they are still new to it. i think there will be more

problems because there is with any situation. the other thing is people are talking about a recession happening. if that happens and if you are one of the new people at an industry, that could be a bad thing for you. maybe something to consider. ama: what were you thinking might be some of the downsides that may come down the line with work from home? just curious. dr. horowitz: in a lot of work -- over the past two years, i have done work with organizations whose employees are struggling with the work from home situation. it has gotten better as people have become accustomed to it, but it can be a difficult transition. a common problem people have is having boundaries, setting boundaries between a workplace and home. they are trying to do work and they have kids because childcare is a difficult issue for a lot of people. we see a lot of people who are struggling with not having a clear demarcation between when they are at work and when they

are at home. i say from my home. ama: i see a guitar back there. i think you have a good outlet. speaking of that, what about burnout on the job? dr. horowitz: one of the things about burnout on the job, you pointed to the guitar, it is important to have outlets outside of the workplace. one of the reasons people get burned out is they never really get away from the job. they are still mentally there. they cannot seem to get away. you have to have a range of activities that you can go to to help you dtresand enjoy yo hobbies relationshipsh friends and family, prioritizing those things, exercising, getting outside, all of those things that keep you happy and healthy are going to help you with workplace burnout. the other thing is having good boundaries with work, which i know is difficult for some people because a thought of that

depends on the workplace. ama: what about in dealing with coworkers as we are going through this? dr. horowitz: that is an important thing. we know the relationships you have with your colleagues is one of the most important predictors of job satisfaction and happiness. you have to take those relationships seriously. it is a nuanced thing where you want to show up and be supportive of one another, that is important. at the same time, if you have a work situation where people are bringing all of their problems in and dumping them on one another in a way that is not helpful, you have to set boundaries. remember that when you are therefore your colleagues, you want to be supportive in the ways that you can, and also try to be a bridge to other resources, if your company has programs or employee assistance programs, hr. it depends on what the organization wants to do. ama: i was having trouble

processing what happened yesterday, i did a lot of crying, and our producer left me a little treat and said, you can get through this. it is nice to work with good people. it can be a great predictor of happiness. thank you for joining us today. dr. horowitz: thank you so much. ama: to find an ally to help care for your mental health, check out local resources by going to abc7news.com/takeactionl kristen: hate spiders? kristen: hate spiders? you might not want to pick kristen: hate spiders? you might not want to pick that was quick. and rewarding. i earn 3% cash back at drugstores with chase freedom unlimited. that means i earn on my bug spray and my sunscreen. you ready to go fishing? i got the bait. i also earn 5% on travel purchased

>> the state of california is taking action on a pollutant threatening fish species. spencer christian is back with a look at what is changing. spencer: you can find a source of the problem on roadways. a bit of a caution, you might find some of this video disturbing. if you think about the pollution your car causes, chances are you are not thinking about the tires and less about a faraway creek where salmon is dying a violent death from a toxic chemical. researchers spent years documenting the link. >>would be there for hours

watching fish trying to survive. it is quite sad. the fish look like they are suffocating. spencer: they say as the rubber wears away from car tires during driving, it spreads microparticles including a destructive chemical called 6ppd, often their path leads to storm drains and ultimately into the bay. kelly morley on is with the estuary institute. >> when stuff wears off your tires, it flies in the air and lands on the ground and when it rains, it washes into creeks in the bay. it is not get treatment except in a few special places where we have those systems. spencer: now with information gathered by the estuary institute, california is stepping in, laying the groundwork for potential regulations to curb the tire pollution. the strategy is to start with tire manufacturers. the plan could require companies to begin developing an
