YES WE WILL ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
We all know the far reaching impact of Anxiety, a precursor to more serious Mental & Physical Health issues. The prevalence of these issues are particularly high & growing amongst our precious Youth (aged 15-24).
2 million Australians per year experience Anxiety, 1 million have Depression, Up to 67% of students feel stressed... 1 in 5 experience... 1 in 8 consider... 9 lives per day in Australia... The list goes on & the statistics are numbing.
​
These are not numbers, each of these is a LIFE!
The impact & heartbreak is far reaching to families, friends, mates, first responders and wider communities.
​
Through Sporting Endeavours, Mates4Life helps address the elephant in the room in a positive & sporting way.
