Dolphins are teaming up to "Sack the Stigma" and normalize
conversations about mental health.
In this "Sack the Stigma" public service announcement, Dolphins

about the steps he takes to care for his mental health and how
they're just as important as the regimen he follows to maintain his
physical health.
As a professional athlete, Sieler understands the importance of
maintaining both physical and mental strength. In the video, Sieler
opens up about how he prioritizes his mental health and advocates
for open conversations to normalize the topic.
"Through 'Sack the Stigma,' Ambetter and the Miami Dolphins
defensive tackle hope to inspire others to prioritize their mental
health and break down the barriers of stigma surrounding mental
illness," said Chief Product President of Sunshine Health,
Charlene Zein. "We appreciate Zach
and his partnership on this crucial health topic. We hope his story
will empower others to seek help when they need support."
In the video, Sieler also emphasizes the importance of seeking
support from trusted individuals, such as teammates, coaches,
psychologists and doctors. He encourages others to prioritize their
mental well-being and reminds them that it's okay to ask for
help.
"I want everyone to know that it's okay to talk about mental
health," Sieler emphasizes. "Together, we can tackle the stigma and
create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable
seeking help."
