club Connect

Clubs New Zealand is bringing Lean on a Gate to your town. We’ll focus on strengthening connections, finding resources, and empowering the people here through this event and ongoing partnership.

See Club Connect tour dates

Club Connect is not just a one-off event, but the catalyst to put a local support network in all communities.

How Club connect works

1.

Your Club reaches out to us to organise a Club Connect

We’ll contact you via Clubs New Zealand to assess what mental, physical and farmer support services are available.

2.

Clubs of New Zealand will run a local seminar in the community

We will then run a seminar for Club members, Club staff and volunteers – learning how to recognise and approach mental distress.

3.

Build a connection network in your Club's community

We’ll then provide the key people in your Club with the tools and the appropriate avenues for support and referrals.
