Esports have been a battleground for the best games in countless franchises between the mightiest gaming professionals. However, the intense mental load associated with Esports competition can have a negative impact on the mental health of athletes. Even though there are several ways to combat anxiety, depression, burnout, and other issues and conditions faced by many esports players, these issues persist. At Guardians MH, we strive to provide resources accessible to all competitive players.
Expertly curated by our team of mental health professionals, Esports/gaming experts, nutritionist, experts at 1HP, pro, semi-pro, and collegiate Esports players, and live streamers. Together, we have compiled MH content and resources worthy of aiding every player in the arena, wherever they may be.
Each mental health kit concentrates on gamer’s mental health, self-care, nutrition, hydration, stretches, guided meditations, finding your passion in gaming, and focused Esports resources.
As long as funding continues to make free, meaningful mental health kits, we will make a difference one person at a time.

Live Streaming Support Program
The Guardians MH LSSP (Live-Streaming Support Program) is built as a framework for Streamers and Moderators on strategies to better interact with viewers presenting as being in some form of psychological distress or crisis. This program also hopes to help Streamers and Moderators establish guidelines on discussing specific mental health topics while providing helpful resources to needy individuals. These interactions aim to help individuals find the proper and appropriate mental health support and treatment they need.
