The welcome for the local heroes, from a room of individuals who once suffered in silence, epitomised the impact of the Foundation’s mental health group, Football Talks. “I think mental health is so much bigger than football and its shows that people are no more important than each other,” Longstaff explained during the session as he openly spoke about a time when he was struggling a number of years ago. “Just because you see somebody playing football on the telly, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t affected by the same things that somebody watching the game is. Mental health doesn’t discriminate and the lows can affect anybody at any time.
With such distressing statistics for the region, Football Talks is continuing to work towards the vital support needed to reach and engage with those most in need. With more than 2,000 attendances in the three years of Football Talks, 86 per cent of participants feel less self-isolated because of Football Talks, whilst 93 per cent of participants saying they have now gained new friendships and a support network by attending the sessions.
“The session was powerful and sad. There was a gent who opened up and talked about suicides in his family and it was hard to hear. For him to have this group of people and support from the Foundation is really important because it’s a space where he and other can help each other and support each other. These Football Talks session make more difference than anybody can realise or describe.”
