Mental Health Awareness Round

by | Aug 24, 2022

PNA Mental Health Awareness Round will be held on Saturday 27th August.  All teams and officials at PNA from Year 7/8 and above are invited to participate in the round by wearing a blue armband during their games on Saturday.

The aim of the round is to reassure people who may be suffering from a mental health concern that we care and that it is ok to talk to someone about it.  We also hope to give people the confidence to help anyone who either comes to them with a mental health concern or displays the signs.

Blue armband tape will be distributed to clubs and will be available from the PNA match office on Saturday.

PNA held a free Mental Health Awareness workshop last night, which was facilitated by Jodii Maguire from Think Performance.  Jodii has also provided us with a number of important resources that can be used to assist raising awareness about mental health.  Click on the links below to view or download them.
