Think Mental Health Round
Football has the power to bring people together and spark meaningful conversations about mental health and wellbeing in our communities. Clubs across WA, embraced the Think Mental Health message this month, showing that sport can be a force for connection, care and change. From metro to regional clubs, across both women’s and men’s competitions, the message was loud and clear – your mental health and wellbeing matter.
We were also honoured to have the Hon. Meredith Hammat, Minister for Health; Mental Health, join the conversation during the 7plus and Streamer broadcast over the weekend. Check it out here and see how football is helping to drive positive change.
