Warriors deliver Mental Health presentations

Wigan Warriors Community Foundation recently delivered mental health and wellbeing presentations to more than 200 men at Robin Park Arena.

Throughout Men’s Mental Health Month, the Club’s Community Foundation will be raising awareness towards issues whilst encouraging men to seek support when needed.

Led by Wigan Warriors Community Foundation Health and Wellbeing Officer, Adam Stansbie, the presentations highlighted the types of mood disorders – anxiety, depression – individuals can experience alongside the signs and symptoms.

The presentations were delivered to participants and volunteers from the Club’s Alcedo Care Development Programme, as well as Community Foundation Coaches and wider staff members.

On the importance of the presentation, Adam Stansbie said: “Sport is an emotional rollercoaster so delivering the presentation to a range of different aged males is important in helping each individual understand mental health.

“The presentation identified techniques that can not only be applied when supporting teammates, but more importantly in everyday life.”  

Wigan Warriors Community Foundation would like to remind individuals that Andy’s Man Club hold support sessions at The Brick Community Stadium every Monday night between 7-9pm. More information can be found HERE.
