Mental Health

At St Mary’s, the health and wellbeing of our players, supporters and the wider community is paramount.

Mental health is equally as important as physical health, so we encourage everyone to use the below resources to manage your health and check in on those around you.

1 in 5 Australians experience mental health challenges, so it is critical that we all commit to addressing mental health within our club, the community and the sporting arena.
