NHFT teams up with the Steelbacks to talk about mental health
Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) and Northamptonshire County Cricket Club players and colleagues have teamed up to raise awareness of mental health difficulties and encourage conversations about mental health.
NHFT and the Steelbacks are launching a campaign, supported by players and colleagues, to raise awareness of men’s mental health – sharing their own thoughts and experiences in a bid to encourage anyone who might be struggling to reach out for support.
Both organisations are working in partnership to signpost local support services. Hear what some of the team have to say:
Feeling constantly tired, not interested in day-to-day things, unmotivated and stuck in a rut can all be signs that you could benefit from some support to help you to feel like yourself again.
