Swimming NSW has partnered with Australian Red Cross to launch Lane Ropes for Life - a program that will give members living in regional, rural, and remote areas of NSW access to FREE mental health training.
Swimming NSW understands and recognises its role in building a healthy and supportive sporting environment for our members, staff, volunteers, coaches, swimmers and their families. Early intervention is the key to effectively dealing with mental health concerns within our community. Knowing how to spot and respond to signs of crisis within your team, among teammates and across the swimming community, can have a big impact on the overall health, wellbeing and enjoyment of our sport. We encourage our members to take advantage of this training opportunity.
The training will be delivered via a series of interactive online and face-to-face workshops and will focus on helping Swimming NSW members, staff and volunteers to better recognise the signs of mental health concerns within their swimming communities, and offer practical advice for responding to mental health challenges, including where to go for more help.
