Niall Stringer Foundation Course First Event

An introduction to mental health and well-being conversations

Last night Lauren & Christy attended the Niall Stringer Foundation course, introduction to mental health and well-being over at Old Brentwoods Rugby Club. The course was hosted by Matt from Mindset Sport and allowed a short session of great teaching to take place around conversations into mental health.

The Niall Stringer Foundation was set up after Niall sadly took his own life in February of 2022 at only 17 years old and has since become an official registered charity as of April 2023.

The foundations sole mission is to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and wellbeing, and give sports clubs, at all levels, across the UK the tools to allow them to contribute positively in the prevention of suicide in young people.

#ns10 has become a movement within the rugby community sparked by the emotions of Nialls family, friends, coaches and teammates who want to make sure that they are doing their bit to help others in a positive way & with a clear goal to promote mental health awareness and wellbeing in sports clubs across the UK.

Not only have the Niall Stringer Foundation partnered up with Mindset Sport but they are also working closely with SANE Mental Health Charity to ensure help is there whenever it’s needed.

We are very grateful to have been able to attend last night & look forward to doing our bit for our children and peers.

In order for the amazing work this foundation has already done to continue, we need you to help raise funds so that they are able to support sports clubs across the country in raising awareness about mental health and suicide by giving them all the tools they need including important mental health first aid training.
