I am out to create an ALL CODES MENTAL HEALTH ROUND.

Where ALL our sporting codes on the same weekend, have a round of sport specifically dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.

We have to create bigger and more powerful conversations about mental health everyday, if we are to truly remove the stigma we so often talk about. 

How can things change if we don’t normalise these conversations?. What’s a great way to do it?. Using the biggest platforms available to us as a nation that so many genuinely love, the SPORTING CODES.

I want this petition to make it to the CEO’s of our  Major Sporting Codes, so that we can create a conversation to make this happen.

This is NOT a petition of criticism of any CEO’s or their CODES, rather it is a call to action in love, so that we can create the biggest conversation about mental health outside of R U OK? Day.

ANDREW ABDO - CEO NRL

Gillon McLachlan - CEO AFL

Nicole Livingstone - CEO AFLW

Andy Marinos - CEO Rugby Australia

James Johnson - CEO Football Australia

Nick Hockley - CEO Cricket Australia

Mark Robinson - CEO NZ Rugby Union

And any and all other codes who wish to create the conversation.

Please sign this petition and share, have conversations with these people and others of influence so we can make this happen.

I want to be able to share this with them, so in fairness to them, they can see whether the people of Australia want this to happen or not.

If you are passionate about mental health and believe that a sporting round dedicated to mental health would help people, then please sign and share with your friends.

IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE, ON THE SAME WEEKEND, EVERY CODE CREATING A GIANT CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH, WHERE CURRENT & PAST PLAYERS SHARE THEIR STORIES, ALONG WITH SUPPORTERS & ADMINISTRATORS. 

THATS HOW YOU DISAPPEAR STIGMA!!!.
