    Partnership with AFL tackles depression (Longmire)

    Thought this was worth a post. Great what the club is doing in this area.

    Former AFL players and coaches will be part of an interactive online mental health platform called �Better Out Than In� which also emphasises the importance of men talking about their feelings.

    It involves a partnership between La Trobe University researchers including Sports Psychologist Dr Paul O�Halloran, Dr Mandy Ruddock-Hudson, and Dr Scott Ruddock, the AFL Players and Coaches Association, Mates in Construction, Cummins and Partners and Beyond Blue

    The website features an exclusive video of Sydney Swans coach John Longmire discussing the importance of men talking about their feelings.

    The first of several stories from AFL players and coaches to launch on the Better Out Than In website, Longmire�s short video helps reframe the conversation about men�s depression from one of shame, stigma and secrecy to one of courage and hope.
