Mental Health Awareness Week 2026: A Racing Welfare Webinar

Working in racing can be rewarding but demanding, with long hours, physical pressure, and high expectations placing significant strain on mental wellbeing. As part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, this Racing Welfare webinar will focus on raising awareness, reducing stigma, and promoting positive mental health across the racing industry.

The session will explore common mental health challenges faced by those working in racing, early warning signs to look out for in yourself and others, and the importance of open conversations and timely support. Attendees will learn about practical coping strategies, maintaining resilience, and how to access support services available within the racing community.

This webinar is suitable for riders, stable staff, trainers, employers, and industry professionals, and aims to encourage a supportive culture where mental wellbeing is recognised as a vital part of overall health and safety.
