Switch the Play Launch

Thank you to everyone who attended our launch, either in person or online, for the Switch the Play Mental Health program for Sporting Clubs in the Limestone Coast. Also a huge thank you to the Nangwarry Football and Netball Club. This program started there and having members and officials share their stories so courageously was amazing!!!

This is a vitally important free program for all clubs in our region and will have wide spread benefits, support and resources for members and clubs. Below is the recording of last nights launch. We encourage everyone to watch it. If you wish to register as a Switch the Play Club or would like more information please contact via email at [email protected] or phone 0400 262 738.
