- mental wellbeing through cricket.
The YCB are developing a partnership with Opening Up, a project started in 2014 to promote mental wellbeing and suicide prevention through cricket.
The Opening Up project has two main features to it:
a broad campaigning approach, focusing on challenging the stigma around mental health and encouraging people to talk more about this as well as looking at everyday ways to prevent problems.
a delivery aspect through ‘mind and body’ sessions, delivered to cricket clubs.
The overall focus is to start conversations about mental health within cricket, rather than waiting for people to encounter problems first and talking after.
