Ahead Of The Game
Ahead of the Game is a ground-breaking programme that will teach young people the importance of looking after their mental fitness.
Now, more than ever, young people are struggling with their mental health and fitness, with 50% of mental health problems being established by the age of 14 and 75% by the age of 24. Since 2010, suicide rates amongst young people has increased by 67%, which is why Ahead of the Game is so important.
Here in Leeds, 10% of the 250,000 people under the age of 25 are likely to have a mental health problem or need support with their emotional wellbeing.
Ahead of the Game started as a research project in Australia and has shown some great results so far, including:
Leeds Rhinos Foundation is working with 24 high schools and 10 community Rugby League clubs in Leeds, to deliver mental health workshops to those aged between 13 and 16.
