A research team at Victoria University, led by Dr. Mary Woessner, is seeking to speak to young men (aged 18-25 years old) in Australia who have had unsafe, harmful or abusive experiences while playing or being involved in (volunteering) in organised (club) community sport. The project is funded by Movember and is exploring how experiences in sport, like bullying, harassment or abuse can affect young men’s mental health. The goal is to understand the environment and challenges so we can create safe sport spaces and support young men in looking after their mental health.

Eligibility:
- Young men (18-25) including non-binary and transmen
