Ahead of the 2020 season, Football Tasmania has joined forces with Speak Up Stay Chatty in order to help promote better mental health in our football clubs. We would love to see all of our clubs and associations engaging with Speak Up Stay ChatTY through the various programs and initiatives they run.
One in five Australians experiences mental ill-health every year. Your club could play a pivotal role in enhancing and supporting the positive mental health of your members, players and their families. We know that community sporting clubs across the country are leading the charge when it comes to promoting physical fitness, but your club can also support those who are experiencing mental health issues
Football Tasmania will be running various activations throughout the 2020 season, but there are multiple ways that your club can get involved directly.
The Good Sports Healthy Minds Program
The Good Sports Healthy Minds Program helps clubs tackle mental health issues at a grassroots level.
Good Sports works with sporting clubs to build stronger and safer support networks that encourage open and inclusive conversations around mental health. Your local Good Sports team will connect your club with local mental health services and tailor the program to the needs of your club.

The Speak Up Stay ChatTY Sports Program
The Stay ChatTY Sports Program facilitates an evidence-informed mental health awareness workshop to club players. The workshop aims to help participants understand mental health, recognise signs and symptoms, seek help, and help out a team mate. The program also support clubs to run mental health sporting rounds. The Sports Program sits alongside the Good Sports Healthy Minds Program, which helps club managers and coaches develop mental wellbeing policies and procedures to create an inclusive club environment.

Sporting Rounds
Hosting a Stay ChatTY Sporting Round is a great way to get the club and the community around mental health awareness, encourage conversation, and provide an opportunity to fundraise. Stay ChatTY can provide banners, money tins, social media promotion and a representative to launch the round.
