Baseball WA is excited to continue our partnership with A Stitch in Time to bolster mental health and wellbeing initiatives within the baseball community across the state.
Going into Year 2, Baseball WA and A Stitch in Time hope to build on the success of the 2025 Mental Health Round and get more clubs involved in important initiatives to drive awareness and support wellbeing conversations.
“Thank you to A Stitch in Time for the continued support of the WA baseball community. Their resources have made a difference to many of our members, and we look forward to more mental health discussions and activations over the coming year,” Baseball WA CEO Lachlan Dale said.
“We are especially excited for another State League Mental Health Round, as we recognise the importance of education and support in fostering a healthy and resilient baseball community.”
