Beveridge has experience with this, having seen midfielder Lin Jong take a break from playing football on Thursday, while continuing to still train, as he focuses on his mental health issues.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Dogs' game with Carlton on Saturday night, Beveridge called for more education surrounding mental health.

"It's probably just understanding it even more, and I think the point we've got to get to is when players are having these clinically diagnosed challenges, that we can still get them to the point where they can still play the game at this level," Beveridge said.
"That's the biggest unknown, because with physical injury, there's a finite timeline in return. With mental health, there isn't, and we found that with 'Boydy'.
"You actually haven't got an endpoint, and that's the most disconcerting thing in the whole equation."
Beveridge also said he didn't want to see a situation where juniors hide their battles in a bid to be recruited.
"We don't want to get to the point where players aren't getting an opportunity before they get drafted, because I'm pretty sure 17 and 18-year-olds who have gone through the pathways and already know that it's going to be tough for them, that declaration's not going to happen, because they want their opportunity," Beveridge said.
"It's just making sure that we can manage it and still have players with these challenges become very good players at AFL level."
Beveridge was able to give an update on Dale Morris, who is recovering from a ruptured ACL in his left knee suffered back in March, and said it's looking positive.
"We anticipated he'd almost be right this week. He's back in almost full training. He's pretty good but there's a few things going on (to do with) DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and fatigue. We're hoping in a couple of weeks he'd be right to play."
The Bulldogs will be hoping to reverse the result of their game against the Blues back in Round 5, where they lost by 44 points.
