Mental Health Program Providers
VicHealth has provided evidence-based tips on selecting mental health program providers for sports clubs, leagues and associations.
- Providing mental health programs to participants in sports clubs, leagues and associations is vital to the health and wellbeing of our communities.
- Monash University research shows there is a wide range of mental health and wellbeing program providers working with sporting organisations.
- However, the findings show that the sector is largely unregulated, with program providers offering differing services of varying quality.
- VicHealth has developed a toolkit designed to help sports organisations select the right provider and deliver the best possible mental health and wellbeing program to participants.
