Mental illness impacts almost one in two people. For the past nine years the NRL has been working with some of Australia’s top mental health experts to provide a range of workshops and resources through the NRL State of Mind program.

Mental illness is Australia’s single biggest health issue, impacting almost one in two people, and through the mantra of “In footy and in life, be there for an offload”, the program promotes the fact that, just like an offload can change a game of rugby league, a conversation change a day or even a life when it comes to mental health.

The organisations have formed two key programs aimed at achieving positive outcomes in the area, with the, which is facilitated by current and retired NRL and NRLW players, using rugby league language to convey positive mental health and wellbeing messages. The four-step process is targeted towards senior players, club administrators, coaches and managers of grassroots rugby league clubs and includes a 90-minute workshop involving on and off field activities to provide the participant with the knowledge and confidence to provide support to a person experiencing mental health problems.
