WELLBEING
Good mental health and wellbeing allows us to live life in a positive and meaningful way and cope with life’s changes and challenges.
HEADSPACE PARTNERSHIP
headspace, National Youth Mental Health Organisation, offers mental health support to young people aged 12 to 25. In 2018, we began a partnership with headspace to promote mental health awareness among League of Legends players, kicking off initiatives like the Oceanic Pro League (OPL) headspace round.
We’ve since continued to work closely with headspace on things like the League of Legends learning initiative as part of our commitment to mental health and wellbeing.
ENCOURAGING HEALTHY HABITS
Through League of Legends, young people can build healthy habits to look after their mental health as they learn and play together. A large part of the learning initiative focuses on supporting young people as they develop strategies to respond to adversity, reduce the impact of bullying, and demonstrate appropriate online behaviour.
