Think Mental Health Round – 22-23 June 2019
The partnership between the WACFL and Healthway centres around the Think Mental Health campaign and the important messages that it promotes.
Alarmingly one person dies in Western Australia each day by suicide and nearly 3 out of 4 of these deaths by suicide are male. These statistics are even higher in regional Western Australia and it highlights the importance of building resilience and improving the overall mental health and wellbeing of all West Australians.
As a country football network, we have clubs as far north as Kununurra and as far south as Esperance which provides us with a great opportunity to play an active role in promoting the importance of improving the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The Think Mental Health Round provides you, your club members and community with the opportunity to get together and support each other to improve mental health and wellbeing. There are many resources available and tips on how to start these conversations as well as things you can to do improve your mental health and wellbeing.
Ways to check in on your mate
- How are you going? What’s been happening in your life lately?
- You don’t seem yourself, is something bothering you?
- You seem upset or worried, what’s going on? Can I help with something?
- I’ve noticed you’re not going out much lately, anything going on?
