Players

Movember Ahead of the Game uses sport to help young players gain the skills and knowledge that underpin good mental health and resilience.

As part of the program, participants will attend workshops where they’ll learn how to kick off conversations about mental health, and gain the skills to help a friend out who might be going through a tough time. By the end of the program, participants will have sharper skills to overcome challenges in sport and in life.
