Tackle Suicide exists to protect and strengthen the mental health, wellbeing, and lives of current and former rugby and contact-sport athletes. This includes preventing crisis, self-harm, and suicide by strengthening support long before players reach breaking point. 

We amplify lived experiences, provide trusted resources and pathways to support, and help people feel seen, connected, hopeful, and able to get and stay well. Through this independent work, we aim to shape broader conversations and improve athlete wellbeing in communities everywhere. 

Our work is built on four integrated elements:

• A global research programme grounded in lived experience

• The Tackle Suicide website - an athlete-centred digital hub for support, education, and connection

• Funded access to confidential, professional talking therapy for athletes in need

• A zero-suicide pathway

Together, these create a system that listens to players, learns from their reality, removes barriers to support, enables early intervention, and commits to the long-term ambition of zero suicide within the communities we serve.
