MENTAL HEALTH NEWS
08 May 2026
At Aghaderg GAC and Ballyvarley HC we know that mental health is just as important as physical health.
Please remember, you never have to suffer in silence.
There is always someone ready to listen and help.
Whether you are a player, parent, coach or supporter, support is available.
If you are struggling, feeling overwhelmed or simply need someone to talk to, please reach out to one of the helplines below or speak in confidence to one of our coaches or our Child Protection Officer.
Checking in with a teammate, friend or family member can make a huge difference.
