Player Wellness

Player safety and health are important to the staff of MCSkinHistory. However, please understand that the MCSkinHistory staff does not have formal training to provide one-on-one care. This article is a guide to help you or a friend reach out to individuals or organizations who are better equipped to provide assistance and care for mental well-being.

If you are feeling depressed, suicidal, or facing other emotional health challenges, please read further on this page for some sources that can help you or a friend you are concerned for.

If you encounter an issue with another person threatening or harassing you on MCSkinHistory's services, please contact [email protected] immediately.

Support

We encourage any player facing difficulties to reach out to someone that can provide support on a continuous/regular basis. People we recommend going to are:

• Family members
  • Parents
  • Siblings
  • Extended family (i.e. Uncle, Aunt, Grandparents, etc.)
• Friends
• Teachers or trusted staff members at educational institutions
• Religious figures or local community group members
• Support group
• Counselors, psychologists, or therapists
• A doctor or local GP
• Local law enforcement/Police departments

For emergency situations, where you or another person is at immediate risk, please contact local emergency services.
