Free guidance for local clubs

Representatives from local sporting clubs are invited to attend a free Good Sports workshop in Busselton later this month, covering the important role local clubs can play in building healthy communities.

The workshop will offer local clubs insight on how the Alcohol and Drug Foundation‘s program can support them to set-up a better environment by helping them tackle tricky topics including alcohol, drugs, smoking, mental health and safe transport.

The Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s WA State Manager Greg Williams said the workshops were a great opportunity for clubs to come together and learn about creating safer places to enjoy sport.

“Community sporting clubs can play a really important role when it comes to modelling healthy behaviours and reducing and preventing the risk of alcohol and other drug harms,” Mr Williams said.

“Over the last 25 years, Good Sports has made a significant contribution in building healthier and safer community sporting clubs across Australia and has been proven to reduce risky drinking and alcohol-related harms at participating clubs.

“We welcome all South-West sporting clubs to come along to their closest workshop to find out how Good Sports can best support them.”

The Good Sports Workshop will be held at the Kaloorup Room in the City of Busselton building on Tuesday, August 27 from 6pm to 7pm. Visit events.humanitix.com/good-sports-workshop-busselton to register.
