iTrain has significant experience training coaches and administrators in mental health first aid and ASIST suicide prevention.
Sports and fitness can have a great impact on mental health, furthermore the community that sporting organisations offer a perfect space to discuss mental health struggles and have open conversations. Mental health discussions can seem daunting for some, especially if they are seen as a role model and worry that talking about their struggles will make them look weak.
This couldn't be further from the truth, hence why mental health awareness and suicide prevention training is so important in the sports industry. It offers an opportunity for players and coaches alike to learn more about themselves and how to care for others around them.
Athletes are under significant pressures to perform and frequently have their own mental health struggles. Tailored courses can help manage these pressures and provide guidance on how to deal with and support individuals or teams going through hard times. Mentally healthy players and coaches are more likely to lead to great results for the team and build a strong connection between all members.
By partaking in a mental health awareness and suicide prevention training course for your sporting organisation you are actively taking part in reducing the stigma around mental health conversations within sport.
Mental Health First Aid training has many benefits outside of just within your sporting organisation. The MHFA course is beneficial to decrease the stigma around mental health conversions across Australia. Our ASIST suicide prevention training for sporting organisations offers similar benefits.
