WARRINGTON Wolves will kick-off this year’s State of Mind themed Super League round, when they take on Wigan at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
The mental health charity’s dedicated round will take place in Round 20, with the Wolves facing their rivals on Thursday July 2.
The weekend also includes Leeds against St Helens and Widnes’ trip to Castleford.
The message for this year’s State of Mind round is “What’s Theirs?”
State of Mind co-founder, Dr Phil Cooper, said: “Just chatting and spending time with someone can make the world of difference. It’s not about trying to fix people or trying to solve their problems for them. Often, it’s just about being there, showing you care and listening without making judgements.
“This year, State of Mind is focused on looking out for your mates, colleagues and family.
“So this State of Mind Round, how can you support someone you know?”
Last year’s themed round saw more than 5,500 mental fitness cards handed out to fans, with more than 4.3m people viewing mental fitness messages sent out through State of Mind’s player ambassadors.
One fan said: “It it was not for State of Mind, I would not be here today. I was looking for a piece of rope to hang myself and saw a State of Mind card I picked up last year. It made me stop and go and get help. You saved my life.”
Further information on the activity around each fixture will be released in the coming weeks. Visit www.stateofmindrugby.com.
