Football West, in partnership with Healthway and its Think Mental Health campaign, is proud to launch our second Think Mental Health Round, which will take place on the weekend of 13-14 July across all Football West competitions.
This important round aims to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing while supporting you and your club in fostering a supportive culture.
It is easy to get involved with this fantastic initiative:
- Host and promote a BBQ or other event at your club and provide an opportunity for members to socialise and Kick off the Conversation with one another or someone new. A $100 food voucher to assist with the BBQ is available to clubs participating in the Kick off the Conversation program. To receive the voucher, participating clubs are required to register for the TMH Round
- Utilise available resources to facilitate meaningful discussions. These resources provide valuable guidance and conversation starters, helping you navigate important topics surrounding mental health. Download resources from the bottom of this page
- Spread awareness by sharing our Mental Health and Wellbeing key messages. Use your digital platforms to amplify these messages, encouraging positive mental health practices and destigmatising the topic
- Display Think Mental Health signage at your club
