Last year the VAFA announced an ongoing partnership with mental health charity One in Five.
One in Five raises money for medical research into mental illness, including depression, with the aim of developing treatments to help sufferers and prevent tragic suicides.
This week One In Five visited St Kevin’s Old Boys Football Club to speak to over 60 players and increase awareness of mental health issues.
Former lawyer, Member of Parliament and now successful playwright, Neil Cole, shared his personal experience of mental illness with the players and explained the prevalence of the issue that can impact one in five men.
Neil emphasised the need to breakdown the stigma often attached with mental health issues and the benefits that belonging to a football club can provide for young men who may feel isolated.
SKOB coach Daniel Harford also commented to the group on the need to speak up and seek assistance from your mates and support staff should players be experiencing mental health problems.
