We are working with our trusted healthcare partner, and lead RugbySafe sponsor, Simplyhealth and with rugby specific mental health charity Looseheadz to keep the rugby community healthy by promoting healthy discussion around mental wellbeing and signposting those who need it to expert advice.

It is estimated that one in four people will experience a mental health illness each year in the UK. For these people, the pressures and strains of life and work can act as a catalyst to mental health problems, with the most common being depression and anxiety.

The links between good physical health and mental health are well recognised. Physical activity such as playing rugby can be very beneficial for mental health and wellbeing as well as bringing physical benefits.
