Mental Health Round

Hi team! I am Dani Kuipers (SL4B) and I am the mental health liaison for the club this year – it’s a super new role we’ve added to hopefully raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health within our club. Hockey is such a great way to support good mental and physical health, and we hope that our club also gives you all a supportive community to turn to when you’re having a rough time.

Things to note:

  • Social points! This year we are bringing back social points for the month of July and the winning team will get an award at the end of the season
  • Mental health round – 26-28 July
  • Livin for Hockey Mental health training – will occur later in the month, details TBA
  • Mental health event – Saturday 27 July, details TBA but please pop it in your calendar!
  • Please remember to check on your fellow club members

If you’re interested, we are currently taking expressions of interest to be a part of the working group that will undertake this task. Please email anuwhc@gmail.com, and if you have any relevant experience (especially a background in law or finance) we would very appreciate the help.
