Join us for an informative evening...

Presented by "Out of The Locker Room" (OTLR), this Hour of Power session will cover the signs & symptoms of mental ill-health, how to begin the conversation if you or someone else is challenged by mental ill-health & how to support someone going through a mental health challenge.

Designed specifically with an aim to help support our young rowers, this is the first of two sessions that OTLR are delivering for Rowing WA.  The second session, to be delivered 4 weeks after this session, will focus on Cyberbullying.

As discussions around mental health & wellbeing can be a sensitive topic of conversation, OTLR will have in attendance on the evening a Welfare Champion, who is a qualified counsellor, to provide one-on-one support.  The age recommendation for this session is 15 years & above.  Coaches & parents are also encouraged to attend & are warmly welcomed.
