Have you noticed any of your teammates or friends are not themselves? Have the conversation and link them to the right help.
It can be a really tough time of year for many people. Keeping in touch with team mates once hockey season is over isn’t always easy, but taking some time to reach out and see how everyone is doing could help.
Have you noticed one of your teammates, or a friend of relative are not themselves? Could they use someone to listen or a shoulder to lean on? As a friend, team mate or family member, you’re in a good position to notice any signs or symptoms that someone might not be OK. Have the conversation and link them to the right help.
If you need additional support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
Did you know that if you text 0477131114 when you’re feeling really depressed or suicidal, a crisis worker will text with you? Many people don’t like talking on the phone & would be more comfortable texting. It’s another free service run by Lifeline.
There are people available if you want to talk.
