Mental Health Ahead of the Game Parents Session

Ahead of the Game is a youth mental health program. It teaches players, parents, coaches, umpires and volunteers how to understand mental health, build mental fitness, and strengthen resilience. The program covers how to recognise mental health challenges, what to do and when to get help. Players learn how to build resilience and overcome challenges in sport and life.

Ahead of the Game helps parents develop the skills and knowledge they need to understand, recognise and support the mental health and wellbeing of their teenagers.

As part of the program, parents will attend one workshop. The session will help parents gain an understanding of mental health challenges so they become easier to recognise. They’ll also learn how to start conversations about mental health.
