Game of II Halves aims to raise awareness around mental health issues and suicide prevention.

With funding from NENC Suicide Prevention Network, the aim is to recruit ambassadors to share messages throughout workplaces and local organisations across the region to promote good mental health and suicide prevention messages. 

Delivered in Sunderland, South Tyneside and Northumberland, the scheme will target men aged 25-69 and women aged 41-50, the groups with the highest suicide rate in the North East.

Venue: Sessions can be held at Beacon of Light, Stadium of Light or your workplace, community centre etc
