Offload 
Wolves Foundation, Rugby League Carers and State of Mind Sport
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health issue this year but by educating youngsters in schools and offering structured physical activity sessions to adults within Warrington, we will begin to tackle the stigma and raise awareness.
The Wolves are holding 'Offload' sessions that will pass on the same skills used by elite performers to help you build your own mental fitness and a better mindset.
Offload is a new Big Lottery funded initiative, offering a creative, engaging and effective mental fitness project for men in deprived areas. The project is a collaboration between Rugby League Cares and State of Mind Sport.
Offload gives men the opportunity to go behind the scenes of the great game of Rugby League and learn the mental fitness techniques used by professional players.
Through this we aim to help men develop better coping strategies, have a better understanding of their own wellbeing needs and gain tools designed to help them cope better with life. Rugby League Cares State of Mind.
Tuesday (6.30pm-8.00pm) at Halliwell Jones Stadium
Friday (6.30pm-8.00pm) at Radley Common Community Centre

Happy?Ok?Sad?
We all deserve to enjoy life and feel good about ourselves. Sometimes however life can be tough.
Whether you’re feeling great and want to stay that way, you’re a bit fed up; or you’re struggling to manage your feelings, this site has links to information and tips ranging from how to boost your mood, to where to get help if you’re unable to cope.
The site has been developed for people living in Warrington, so some of the services are for local people only. The words indicate which services are aimed at Warrington residents. Many of the links are for national sites however, so the information will be relevant wherever in England you live.
So that it's easier for you to find what you're looking for, we've divided the site into different sections.
