The Toronto Dingos Football Club proudly announces the launch of its first-ever Mental Health Policy, a pioneering initiative for the club aimed at breaking down the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and fostering a safe and supportive environment for players and the broader community.
“We are incredibly proud to launch this policy. Mental health is an integral part of overall health, and by taking this step, we hope to inspire others to embrace a more open and supportive approach to mental well-being,” said Justin Robertson, president of the Toronto Dingos Football Club. “We’re committed to making sure our players and the wider club community have a space where they know they can turn to in times of real need and we can help play a role to educate, listen or recommend further help.”
Supporting the club's mental health policy will be four mental health ambassadors including Ben Moller, James Talbot, Michael Beda and Tristan Kinghorn.
According to Movember, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day: in Canada three out of four suicides are by men. Between 2003 and 2022 the percentage of Canadians who said their mental health state was fair or poor more than doubled.
