With mental health issues rampant Australia wide, the Richmond Football Club would like to encourage all Club members and supporters the opportunity to better equip themselves to assist their family, friends and colleagues that could suffer from a mental illness.
By completing the Club’s new Mental Health program which entails a Mental Health First Aid course, individuals will be provided with the mechanisms and framework required to best support those developing a mental health problem or crisis.
The support and understanding of a familiar voice is proven to have a profound impact improving someone’s mental state, particularly prior to professional consultancy.
Recent studies revealed that almost 35 per cent of Australians aged between 16-85 had a mental illness, underlining the importance of community members developing action plans to help one another.
The Mental Health program involves an online component followed by a face to face workshop. The Mental Health First Aid programs, which are usually priced at $299, will be available for just $75.
