The State of Mind Round of Fixtures in Super League with our partners Rugby League Cares begins tonight at the game between Warrington Wolves v Salford Red Devils at the Halliwell Jones Stadium

This year’s State of Mind and Rugby League Cares rounds theme is CHANGE:
– International transition
– Lifestyle adjustments
– Times of hardship
State of Mind aims to promote positive mental health among our sportsmen and women, fans and wider communities, and ultimately to prevent suicide.
We raise awareness of the issues surrounding mental health and well-being and deliver education on the subject to all levels of sport, business, education and community groups.
We signpost individuals to where they can receive care and support in their area.
First established in UK Super League in 2011, State of Mind Sport is now a much-loved national charity and international movement delivering its message across rugby league, rugby union, multiple other sports, age groups and territories.
