“READ the PLAY” GAMES NIGHT:
“READ the PLAY” hosts an interactive games night at local clubs to raise awareness about young people’s mental health and how to access local support services.
Participants engage in team based activities which develop a better understanding of mental illness, the value of looking after your mental health and the importance of early help seeking if there are signs and symptoms of emerging mental health problems.
2010 PROGRAM:
This year the uptake of the “READ the PLAY” program has been overwhelming – with a total of forty-seven sessions having been run in thirty clubs across the three leagues.
Approximately 1,200 young people have participated in the program.
Feedback from young people and the clubs has been extremely positive.
