Through Their Words

“It has helped me with my mental health. Three weeks ago I wanted to kill myself but now that I have more of an understanding of how to help myself and I don’t want to anymore.”

– MindEd Student Participant

“I took away the need to look after me to be able to help my son. Also, Greg saying he had bipolar made my son feel normal… I agree with the conversation around stigmas.”

– Participant, Tamworth Adults Mental Health Forum

“That regardless of being one of the greatest to ever play rugby league, he is also human like the rest of us and has the same real struggles.”

– Participant, Tamworth Adults Mental Health Forum

“In 2023, 450+ students received Goanna Academy Mind-Ed Program across NSW. It is great to see a service that is genuinely interested and motivated to drive positive change by creating awareness and providing strategies through Greg’s lived experiences to improve the life outcomes of our students.”

– Department of Education Child Wellbeing Unit

“We are pleased to report that, as a direct result of your programs, so far four students have reached out for counselling, and five students have sought work and study support. This is a testament to the positive influence of your workshops and the meaningful connections and rapport we have been able to build with our local schools, and their students.”

– Courtney Tyrell, Headspace Nowra

“Greg Inglis should be commended for using his profile to establish the Goanna Academy, his work off the field to deliver important messages to improve the mental health and well being of others will have a life long impact on so many.”
