Head of Player Well Being at the OXFC, Paul Lefebvre, says that Game Changers Series is targeted at anyone 15 years and older. By listening to the experiences of our panellists, we hope that through this initiative, everyone will learn something more about themselves, their children, friends and teammates.

The “Game Changers” initiative was developed by former player Old Xavs player Mike Beardsley who recognised the forum complements the club’s desire to increase the exchange of information on these important topics.

“Game Changers is about more than just our club. When our community is more equipped with information about well-being, then we all benefit.”

The event will take place at Xavier College EHPAC Centre, Barkers Rd, Kew at 7pm and entry is a gold coin donation. All funds raised go to Let’s Talk and Australian Suicide Prevention Foundation.
