Michelle Davidson, who will graduate in May, has planned Skating Away Stress: A Mental Health Program for Adolescents for her capstone project, the last requirement before earning her degree.
鈥淥verwhelming evidence shows that physical activity is just great for mental health,鈥� said Davidson, an Omaha native who ice skated as a child. 鈥淲ith adolescents, it鈥檚 such an important time for social-emotional development, so that鈥檚 really why I wanted to target that area specifically.鈥�
