Mental fitness programme helps Rugby League fans to offload

The video discusses the growing focus on mental well-being in rugby, highlighting the Offload program initiated after Terry Newton's suicide. This program aims to destigmatize mental health issues among players and fans by using familiar sports settings and terms like 'mental fitness.' It has shown significant impact, especially among men, who are less likely to seek help. Personal stories from former players and referees, like Ian Smith, are used to teach coping strategies. The program is expanding to other sports clubs, hoping to reach more men.
