Looking after your mental health with Simplyhealth

RugbySafe is all about putting player welfare at the heart of the game and covering how the game should be played and managed to ensure that rugby is as safe as possible.

We know that prevention is better than cure, and the RFU provide guidance and resources on what needs to be in place for all ruby activity in order to create a fun, healthy and safe playing environment.

But it’s not just what’s on the pitch that counts, mental and physical wellbeing go hand in hand to keeping the rugby community healthy. With the impact of COVID and a nationwide lockdown still affecting many people, it’s now more important than ever that we reach out for advice and support.

We are therefore hosting a series of webinars and resources that welcome rugby-players of all ages to a healthy discussion about mental wellbeing, creating kinder cultures and the importance of looking out for each other.

Our mental wellbeing is an important part of why we play the game we love and it’s important we look after it. At Simplyhealth we provide access to expert advice to help you and your teammates stay mentally healthy on and off the field.

As the Trusted Healthcare Partners to England Rugby, we want to highlight the importance of assessing our own mental wellbeing, creating a kinder culture for others and changing the mindset around mental health.

Simplyhealth are working with the Mental Health Foundation to provide England Rugby with advice, resources and signposting to support the rugby community in spotting the signs of mental health problems and directing people for help.
