Northland Rugby Union

In a move to champion mental health awareness and wellbeing within the rugby community, Northland Rugby Union, in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development, proudly unveils "Kick Start the Kōrero." This campaign aims to foster open dialogue surrounding mental health and encourage support networks within local rugby clubs across the Northland region.

In rugby, the strength of our team extends beyond the field. It's about supporting each other through the highs and lows, both on and off the pitch. Kick Start the Kōrero encourages open dialogue about mental health, creating a culture where every voice is heard and valued.

This is a space for you to access mental wellbeing tools and resources, available to you and your community. Let's kickstart the kōrero and champion each other's wellbeing.
