SPORTING CLUB PROGRAM

We developed the Speak & Share Sporting Club Program because clubs are more than sport. They are a second home where belonging, identity, and influence are built. Yet too often, mental health conversations still feel out of place. Our workshop breaks down stigma and helps create a culture where players, coaches, and members feel safe to speak up, check in, and support one another. By embedding open dialogue into club life, we're strengthening wellbeing and building more connected teams on and off the field.

SPORTING CLUB PROGRAM

SPORTING CLUBS

Our Sporting Club workshop is a face-to-face, interactive workshop designed to strengthen connection, wellbeing, and culture within teams and organisations.

Grounded in the understanding that clubs and workplaces are often key support networks in people’s lives, the program creates structured opportunities for participants to engage in meaningful conversations about mental health. Through open dialogue, shared experiences, and guided activities, participants build stronger relationships, develop practical tools to check in with one another, and gain confidence to speak and share when it matters most.

The program supports individual resilience while fostering a positive, inclusive culture - helping teams become stronger both on and off the field.

TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to say that the program was absolutely incredible. Multiple boys shared feedback after the session, saying it was the best session we’ve ever had. Hearing both Ben and Nath’s personal stories really resonated with them and created a space where they felt comfortable to speak, share, and relate on a much deeper level.

Drysdale Football Club

The U15 girls group absolutely loved the session. They were fully engaged from start to finish, and from all accounts, including feedback from my own daughter, the girls found the program both relatable and fun. They genuinely felt it was one of the most impactful and in-touch mental health sessions they’ve experienced.
