💜🩵 World Su***de Prevention Day | 10 September
Today is a reminder that mental health matters to everyone.
Behind every smile, every achievement, every lecture, every training session and every competition, there may be struggles that others cannot see. Whether you are a student, an athlete, a friend, a teammate, a coach, or simply someone trying to get through a difficult period, reaching out can make a difference.
For student-athletes especially, balancing academic demands, training, competition, injuries and personal expectations can sometimes feel overwhelming. But no result, performance or deadline is more important than your wellbeing.
Check in on the people around you. Listen without judgement. Ask twice if you feel something is wrong, and if you are struggling yourself, know that asking for support is a sign of strength.
Sport should be a community where people support one another both on and off the field of play.
Always know, you are not alone.
