THE MENTAL HEALTH ROUND 26th – 28th July 2024
KSJFC is supporting Northern NSW Football’s Mental Health Round 26th – 28th July 2024.
As part of raising awareness for mental health, Northern NSW Football runs an annual Mental Health Round across all competitions in northern NSW.
Many of us know that socialising, playing sports, getting exercise and plenty of fresh air are great proven activities for bettering our physical and mental health.
However, sometimes the competitive side of the game, negative experiences with others or the environment we play in, can also challenge our mental health. Other pressures from work, social or home life can also weigh on ourselves or those around us.
Northern NSW Football is committed to creating a safe, healthy and inclusive environment, where players, refs, coaches and families can watch out for each other and interact together respectfully. This means speaking up against bullying, treating others with respect and promoting football for all.
It can be hard to see when a teammate or club member is struggling with mental health issues. However, we can all play a role in watching out for each other and speaking up to break the stigma around mental health.
We are part of a football team and community. This means we support each other, watch out for each other and have each other’s backs. As part of a football community, lets support each other, watch out for each other and have each other’s backs.
