Following the launch of the Vida - 100Words Mate to Mate partnership, Vida Tennis will be running a connecting event for all men in our community.
For the next three Thursdays, grab a mate and join us at the Veneto Club - Bulleen for a hit of tennis and continue the conversation.
Mental health has or will touch someone close to us all. Sport and physical activity, combined with connection and real conversations to help in so many ways.
Did you know the biggest killer of men in Australia aged between 16 and 44 is…… themselves! In fact, each day 7 men in Australia take their own lives and another 82 men call an ambulance due to suicidal thoughts or attempts. We are sure you are all as shocked as us when we first heard these stats, and to be honest, it shocks us every time we have heard it since.
The Vida Vision for the partnership is to encourage guys to connect more with their mates, dads, brothers…all the good blokes in their lives! Tennis, sport, physical health, and fitness will be our vehicle for community connection, awareness creation, and education for men’s mental health. We want to promote long term sustainable community connection opportunities to create happier generations and prevent suicide.
