SPORTSGIRL IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH HEADSPACE

We have chosen to partner with headspace, the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, because of the important work they do to support young people and their families across Australia.

headspace is there to support young people. Whether it's at one of the 160+ headspace services around Australia, online or over the phone, headspace supports young people with their mental, physical and sexual health, management of alcohol and other drugs and work and study aspirations. headspace also works with schools, building mental health literacy, delivering training for educators and supporting those impacted by suicide. They also provide resources, information and support for family and friends of young people.

If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, visit headspace.org.au to access resources and support, or to find your nearest headspace centre.

WHAT THE PARTNERSHIP MEANS

Sportsgirl’s partnership with headspace is dedicated to raising vital funds to support the social and emotional wellbeing of First Nations young people.

Young people today face numerous stressors, from school and work to relationships and global concerns like climate change. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, these challenges are compounded by the impacts of racism, intergenerational trauma, and marginalisation, adding significant and often invisible pressures to their lives.

Over the next 12 months, Sportsgirl’s support will help headspace:

• Expand yarnspace: A culturally safe platform for First Nations youth to connect and access peer-led support.

• Community projects and events: Building strong, local connections and bridging gaps to critical support services.

• Empower First Nations young women: Through grants and sponsorships, fostering leadership, sport, and wellbeing.

Together, we aim to foster inclusivity, resilience, and hope for the future, with a focus on supporting young Australians from First Nations communities.
