‘Always there to lend a Cauliflower Ear’ Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing support campaign provided by Lancashire County RFU
Mental health & emotional wellbeing issues affect, directly or indirectly, many people. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year and 1 in 6 people in the past week experienced a common mental problem!! That’s just over 2 players in your team! Yet, your teammates facing these challenges can face stigmatisation and discrimination leading to a reluctance to reach out for timely support.
The Cauliflower Ear is a rugby club-based campaign, created & funded by Lancashire County RFU, aimed at increasing awareness of mental health & emotional wellbeing issues within clubs and providing support as needed.
Bespoke artwork posters displayed prominently in clubs will provide a focal point to raise consciousness and provoke positive conversations around mental health & emotional wellbeing. The artwork will be changed throughout the season to maintain a freshness and continue the conversation. It carries the contact details for professional support with counsellors put in place & funded by Lancashire County RFU to support the members of its constituent clubs.
Alongside this, the aim is for each club will have a mental health champion specifically trained in mental health awareness and who is knowledgeable of services available so they can signpost people requiring support in the right direction.
You don’t need to be a trained health care professional to care.
You don’t need to be a trained health care professional to have a conversation.
