The RLWC2021 Mental Fitness Charter commits that by the final whistle of the final game we will;

• Have educated every player, team official, match official, teammate and volunteer to look after their own mental fitness and the mental fitness of those around them. 
• Have supported tournament players to take their experiences home and develop mental fitness awareness within their own Rugby League communities 
• Have delivered mental fitness workshops to 8,000 young Rugby League players, and their families
• Have trained grass roots coaches to continue delivering mental fitness workshops and leave a sustainable tournament legacy 
• Have delivered a mental fitness campaign delivering key messages that reaches local communities and millions of people worldwide.

“The mental fitness charter will help us make real progress in getting rid of the stigma associated with Mental Health and remind people that it’s not just about being physically fit but more importantly mentally strong”
