The Melbourne Storm will host a mental health round on June 21 to raise awareness and support for mental health initiatives.
The Melbourne Storm will hold its inaugural mental health round when the Canberra Raiders visit AAMI Park on June 21.
The initiative has been introduced to spread awareness surrounding mental health and bring emotional vulnerability to light, and the strength to speak out when struggling.
The NewsWire is revealing that there will be free mental health check-ins, fundraising and pins available to purchase, where all proceeds will be donated to Beyond Blue, an independent Australian not-for-profit organisation.
"We know that when it comes to men's sport and men in general, we're tough on the field. But for us, the importance of this round is saying that we're tackling tough together," Storm chief executive Justin Rodski said to the NewsWire.
