Program co-founded by former NBA Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams expands impact across four high schools; semester concludes with community celebration at Dick's House of Sport

BOSTON, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NDUR, the student-athlete wellness and performance platform co-founded by NBA alumnus and former Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams, today announced the successful completion of its second fall partnership with Boston Public Schools (BPS). The initiative brought NDUR's evidence-based curriculum directly into classrooms and athletic programs, supporting student-athletes in developing resilience, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of belonging. A first-of-its-kind immersive, interactive program focused on mental health in the country, spearheaded by Carter-Williams.

Throughout the semester, student-athletes from four BPS high school basketball programs participated in NDUR's interactive workshop huddles, guided journaling, and peer-driven storytelling modules. Early program indicators show notable improvement in students' self-reported confidence, stress management, and team connection, reinforcing NDUR's model as a scalable approach to student well-being.

Celebrating Student Leaders

The semester concluded with a culminating event at Dick's House of Sport, where more than 60 student-athletes, coaches, educators, and community partners gathered to recognize program milestones. The event featured:

• A keynote message from NDUR Co-Founder Michael Carter-Williams
• Recognition of standout student leaders with Certificates of Achievement
• Team-building activities focused on storytelling and connection
