This is the first part of our trio of mental health related episodes. For our first installment, we are joined by mental health advocate Ruby Gebka. Ruby does a lot of work in raising awareness for mental health so we are excited to be able to bring you this episode featuring her.
The episode today looks around the mental health impact of football, looking towards the number of areas in which mental health may be affected negatively. We also discuss the positive effects sports such as football, and the culture social that comes with being a fan has on mental health.
This is a subject that all of the team over at Boots Off TV feels strongly about, so we invite all of our listeners to share this and to check on those around you.
If you are in need of help, there are a number of apps that are extremely helpful, for a number of conditions (or those who do not feel they are ready to speak to someone), such as HeadSpace. There are also emergency organisations such as https://www.samaritans.org/ that are able to give professional help for those in need. As stated in the video, anyone who is out there feeling alone or lost, please message us if you feel like you need someone to talk to. Mental health is a battle for all of us to fight together.
