Ahead of the Game Workshops

Mental Health and Wellbeing at the AFL

Football Clubs are a great place to promote mental and physical health for their members. At the AFL, we understand that mental health exists along a continuum. Mental health isn’t something we either do or don't have. Our mental health is like our physical health - it changes over time in response to different experiences. We know that managing our mental health is important at every stage of the continuum.
