As a leader of a sporting club, embedding Mental Health First Aid training into your culture is not just an investment in your members—it’s a commitment to building a stronger, more supportive community. Here’s why it’s critical:

​

1. Support Your Team's Well-Being: Equip your coaches, staff, and players with the tools to recognise and respond to mental health challenges, fostering a healthier environment for everyone.

2. Reduce Stigma and Build Resilience: Normalise conversations about mental health within your club, empowering members to seek help and support one another in times of need.

3. Strengthen Your Club’s Leadership: Lead by example by championing mental health awareness, creating a culture of care and inclusivity that attracts and retains members.

"Unless a past athlete has obtained accreditation as a mental health professional, it may cause harm if they give advice on how to manage or treat mental health conditions. Mental health conditions are complex, have many causes and require individualised treatments. Advice from someone who is not a health professional may result in worsened symptoms and have other harmful consequences."
