Join Gold Fields and KalWIM for a presentation about mental health from Indigenous Australian former professional rugby league footballer Preston Campbell.

Gold Fields’ St Ives Gold Mine and Kalgoorlie Women in Mining are bringing Preston Campbell to Kalgoorlie, for a special presentation about mental health, for mental health month.

Following a successful NRL career, Preston Campbell is a popular Indigenous ambassador and voice for mental health and those suffering depression, after stepping forward to share his own personal experiences.

Preston Campbell retired in 2011 after playing a staggering 267 NRL first grade games. Throughout his football years, Campbell has been part of Premiership winning team, was awarded the Dally M Player of the Year, received the Ken Stephen Medal in 2008 and was the 2011 NAIDOC’s Aboriginal sports star of the year.

Since retiring Campbell has become one of Australia’s most influential sporting ambassadors, working tirelessly in the community as an Ambassador for the Gold Coast Titans and One Community, focusing on improving indigenous health and well-being.

Preston speaks openly about mental health and his own experiences of depression.

"That's why I put my hand up to share my story, in the hope that people would come forward and say, 'Hey, that's what's going on with me,” said Mr Preston.

As October is mental health awareness month, KalWIM and Gold Fields were eager to partner with someone as honest and open as Preston is about community and mental health.

This is a FREE event, open to the community.
