The final round of the regular season this weekend is also PNA’s Mental Health Round.
The aim of the round is to bring awareness to mental health struggles and provide clubs with knowledge and resources to help make netball a safe, supportive and understanding place for all.
All clubs with teams from 7/8s, 9-12s and Open competitions will be supplied with blue tape for armbands to be worn on Saturday in show of support. This is completely optional.
PNA enlisted the help of Jodii Maguire, from Think Performance, to create the below chart – Mental Health Matter. Jodii specialises in Performance Psychology and has over 15 years experience in the high performance arena including her Performance Psychologist role at West Coast Fever.
