NNA members and supporters can get involved in the NNA Mental Health Awareness Round by fostering an environment of support, understanding and connection.

NNA is invested in connecting our members and community to information and support and to promote the significant role sport has in building positive mental health & wellbeing. This round emphasises the importance of creating communities where everyone feels they belong and can find the help they need.

NNA has worked with clubs, players, the broader netball community and Everymind – a Newcastle-based national mental health institute – to develop and implement the Making Connections: Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy . This strategy is aimed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of players and volunteers and was launched to coincide with NNA’s annual Mental Health Round held in 2022, having received funding from the NSW Ministry of Health’s Mental Health Sports Fund Program.

Members and supporters are encouraged to have open conversations about mental health & well-being and show their commitment to awareness by sharing mental health resources and offering a listening ear to those who may need it.

By coming together, we can break down the stigma around mental health and help build a network of care and support for everyone in our netball and wider community.

NNA seeks contributions from our members and supporters to assist with fundraising activities and activation initiatives for this Round.
