The Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) is partnering with the NSW Baggy Blues to bring attention and a new focus to the importance of mental health and wellbeing in rural and remote communities in New South Wales.

This partnership will aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness; increase knowledge of what mental health resources are available, and increase community spirit during these tough times.

The day's events will start at 7am at Exies Main Club with RAMHP Breakfast and Mental Health Seminar which will see a 20-minute presentation from one of the Baggy Blues members and a 20-minute presentation from RAMHP staff on mental health and wellbeing.
