SHEDTALKS
Shedtalks are face to face sessions at clubs that aim to start a conversation about Mental Health – what it is, what it isn’t, what are the signs someone is struggling and how can we support all players going through a tough time on and off the pitch.

ShedTalks are now full.

WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND SUPPORT:
There are several resources for players, refs, coaches and volunteers of sporting teams to help them open up to each other and have meaningful conversations that can save lives.
