Helping over 1000 young athletes

The Danny Frawley Centre (DFC) together with the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATIONis pleased to announce this landmark partnership. A partnership that aims to have the most impactful approach to mental fitness for our young athletes

The partnership will support the delivery of the DFC Mental Fitness program to more than one thousand young athletes and for the first time ever, would also reach those who officiate sport including umpires, referees and officials in community sport.

Developed by the Danny Frawley Centre in partnership with Monash University, the DFC Mental Fitness program will support young people in developing and understanding mental fitness to combat stress and anxiety related to the demands of team sport. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION to the Danny Frawley Centre,” Executive Director Kirstan Corben said.

“There is a genuine alignment of purpose and values across both organisations, and together, we know we can deliver real impact in the mental health and suicide prevention space. 

“Ray understands better than most the pressure and anxieties that can arise in team sport, so together we want to send the message that whether you’re an athlete or umpire, your mental fitness is crucial and we are here to support.”

"Together with my  brothers, Peter and Brian, we founded the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION to support organisations and initiatives that help people in our community at risk of suicide. We knew from the very start that this was something we wanting to be involved in, so we are genuinely proud to help the Danny Frawley Centre deliver this program” 

One of the first initiatives for the CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION was to partner with R U OK? to raise funds for their pilot primary education program.

The CHAMBERLAIN FOUNDATION funded the successful pilot of the R U OK Classroom Toolkit K-6 program, a mental-health focused resource for primary schools that encourages students to look out for their classmates.

Over $200,000 donated

Griefline was our Razor Ride charity partner from 2016 to 2018.

We’ve donated over $200,000 to Griefline to support Griefline programs including the police incident and victim response service, children’s trauma and abuse counselling service and training courses for helpline volunteers.

Our contribution to Griefline children support and counselling programs facilitated an increase in the number of sessions per week to support children who are survivors of domestic violence and abuse. It also funded the training of an additional 20 volunteers to staff the helpline which receives over 10,000 calls a year.

A $30,000 grant

The Foundation provided a grant of $30,000 to The Police Association of Victoria to develop a mental health program to support Victorian Police and PSO Members.
