The Spartans FC are proud to announce our partnership with the Scottish Government’s mental health campaign Mind to Mind, an initiative encouraging individuals to look after their mental wellbeing.
Hosted on NHS Inform, the website (www.nhsinform.scot/mindtomind) offers a library of over 30 bitesize videos featuring individuals sharing their own mental wellbeing challenges, covering a wide spectrum of topics, including managing anxiety and panic, addressing financial worries, stress management, elevating mood, and navigating grief.
These stories aim to help other people who may be going through something similar. Contributors offer practical advice drawn from their own experiences and additionally the website provides clear signposts to direct individuals toward further help and support.
Dr Alastair Cook, Scottish Government’s Principal Medical Officer for Mental Health said: “Our mental wellbeing, like other aspects of health and fitness, is something we need to think about regularly.”
“There are lots of things we can do to improve our mental wellbeing, whether it’s doing things that make you happy, making lifestyle changes, moving more, connecting with others or making time to get out in the fresh air. If you’re finding things difficult, it’s important to remember support is available.”
Head of Commercial, Graham Carbis said, “As a Club, we’re encouraging all of our supporters to take care of their mental wellbeing, speaking up and knowing that there is help out there. You will be able to find the support out there by visiting www.nhsinform.scot/mindtomind “
1st Team player Paul Watson added, “Having a partnership between Mind to Mind and the football club is welcome news and personally, I’m delighted to be working on this as the Player Ambassador. Anyone struggling out there and needs the support, get in touch with Mind to Mind and remember – you’re not alone.”
