North Ryde RSL’s groundbreaking new partnership

Did you hear the news? 🎙️

North Ryde RSL has become the first club in Australia to offer round-the-clock mental health support with the Leora platform. We celebrated the partnership with a launch event, inviting key stakeholders and club patrons to discuss the importance supporting the mental health of our community.

The club has launched this as a part of their groundbreaking new campaign against domestic violence, highlighting the role of clubs in positively impacting the lives of their community and staff members. The event featured key speakers including Joe Kelly, CEO of North Ryde RSL, Kunal Prasad, People and Culture Manager at North Ryde RSL, and Esha Oberoi, our founder and co-CEO of Leora. Arely Carrion, domestic violence survivor and advocate, Marie Copp, Community and Engagement Officer of Escabags, and Cate Sinclair from The Northern Centre also joined and shared heartfelt accounts of their experiences standing up to domestic violence.

Leora was featured live on 2RRR in conversation with North Ryde RSL People and Culture manager Kunal Prasad. During the live broadcast, Kunal discussed the club’s commitment to supporting mental wellbeing and the role our app will play in this initiative. Kunal emphasised the importance of providing accessible mental health resources, especially in a community-focused environment like the RSL club.

“This app provides a hands-on approach, to provide [our employees] the security to communicate with someone without feeling pressured into it and in their own space.”

“If we can’t protect [our users] data, then how can we help the people? There has been enough preventative steps put in place to protect the employees and help them feel secure in the help they’ve been provided”

Leora offers a range of features designed to support mental health, including access to a network of therapists, immediate access to counsellors via our Live Chat, stress management tools and self-guided resources for enhancing mental wellbeing. By making these resources available to their staff, North Ryde RSL is taking a significant step towards ensuring the mental wellbeing of its community.

This collaboration marks a major milestone for our app and sets a new standard for mental health support within clubs and organisations across New South Wales. We are honored to partner with North Ryde RSL in this pioneering effort and look forward to making a positive impact on the mental health of their members and employees.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand our reach and bring vital mental health resources to more communities 🧠
