Our Well Being and Mental Health

There is a strong link between sport and mental well-being. This is why Auckland Marist Rugby is passionate about raising awareness of mental well-being. We aim to create a support group to provide a safe space for individuals to come and share.

The Marist Brother and Sisterhood that we have at the club means everyone belongs and that we always take time to Korero.

MASTERING MENTAL HEALTH 

Providing young people with the skills and knowledge to recognise and respond to mental health issues both in themselves and others.

FEEL A BIT OFF? 

Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. 1 in 5 kiwis experience some form of stress, anxiety or depression. The rugby community is no different. HeadFirst can help. - www.headfirst.co.nz

CONCUSSION RESOURCES 

We want to ensure that anyone involved in rugby -  players, coaches, refs and family - know what to look out for and what to do when they suspect a player has sustained a concussion. - www.rugbysmart.co.nz/injuries/concussion/resources
