Create a AFL Mental Health Round - Spud’s Round
The issue
On average, 44 men die due to suicide or self harm each week in Australia. That’s 2 AFL sides, a week.
176 Dads, Brothers and Sons a month.
2000+ a year.
75% of Australian suicide’s are men, or boys.
We’ve seen the impact with Pride Round, and other such causes within the AFL, but now it’s time to stand, and create further awareness towards Mental Health. On the back of tragedy, we must unite, and if people don’t know we’re there, how are they to know where to go.
It’s time for Mental Heath Round. It’s time for Spud’s round. Cause if one life is saved due to the AFL banding together, then that’s enough. Now is the time to enact, now is the time to band together, now is the time to show that we, as an AFL community, are there.
