The communities around athletes are always very strong and this film from the PJA is a reminder of the type of support that's available from player associations.

Player association charities are such an important arm to the support services provided to professional sportspeople. Confidentiality is key and the helplines available 24/7 means there is instant access at moments of crisis. #thisismycommunity #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Retirement from sport is a challenging stage in nearly every athlete's life and all player associations provide career transition support from career transition camps and training to more informal networking events and socials #ThisIsMyCommunity #MHAW2025
