continue to support some of the sport’s<br />
most vulnerable people going into next<br />
year’s tournament and beyond.” said Emma<br />
Goldsmith, Head of Community at RL Cares.<br />
In the lead up to the tournament, Mental<br />
Health UK will also work with RLWC2021<br />
and <strong>Rugby</strong> <strong>League</strong> Cares on a resilience<br />
programme which is aimed at 14-18-<br />
year olds in elite sports performance<br />
pathways. The programme will be delivered<br />
to <strong>Rugby</strong> <strong>League</strong> men’s professional<br />
clubs’ scholarships (14-16-year olds) and<br />
academies (16-18-year olds). Find out more<br />
information on the resilience programme.<br />
MHUK began engaging with the player<br />
welfare managers of all the professional<br />
clubs with academies and scholarships last<br />
month and in response to interest will begin<br />
with follow up workshops at Huddersfield<br />
(September 14) and Castleford (October 5).<br />
“Mental Health UK is delighted to partner<br />
with the <strong>Rugby</strong> <strong>League</strong> World <strong>Cup</strong> to<br />
deliver our ‘Your Resilience’ programme<br />
to the next generation of talent coming<br />
through the game."<br />
"Working with the clubs’ coaches and<br />
wellbeing managers, this initiative will<br />
provide young players with the tools and<br />
techniques to build their resilience both<br />
on and off the field, and to encourage<br />
conversations around mental health. Our<br />

partnership reinforces how mental and<br />
physical wellbeing go hand in hand, and<br />
building resilience is crucial for highperforming<br />
teams and the communities that<br />
support them."<br />
"Working together, we will make sure mental<br />
health is part of the conversation at the<br />
<strong>Rugby</strong> <strong>League</strong> World <strong>Cup</strong> 2021 and set a<br />
positive example to the players and fans of<br />
the future."<br />
“The partnership with Mental Health UK<br />
again underlines our commitment to reach<br />
as many different people who need support,<br />
especially in these trying and difficult<br />
times.” commented Katie Legg, Director,<br />
Strategy and Partnerships at Mental<br />
Health UK.<br />
“We applaud Huddersfield and Castleford<br />
for being so proactive in this area and I am<br />
sure a lot of other clubs will follow their<br />
lead in the weeks and months ahead. We’re<br />
currently working with Mental Health UK<br />
and <strong>Rugby</strong> Football <strong>League</strong> on how we<br />
can incorporate into the Women’s DISE<br />
programme to ensure female players also<br />
benefit from this support."<br />
“We are excited to bring these initiatives<br />
to life and continue our promise to have a<br />
widespread and positive impact on <strong>Rugby</strong><br />
<strong>League</strong> communities across the country.”<br />
