Welcome back to Andrew one of our facillators at our Sunderland fans museum group . 🔴⚪️
We asked Andrew what impact the facilitators post had?👌
The post seemed to get lots of positive responses and messages of support and it was lovely to see how open and more understanding people are of men's mental health these days. Hopefully a few people read this and felt more confident about opening up.👌
What impact does the club have on you?.👌✅
AMC has been a massive positive for me. It has helped me pull back from some very difficult thoughts and feelings. It has given me the confidence and chance to share experiences and advice with others who are on the same path and helps me.continue to develop strategies and coping mechanisms to support my general well being. 👌
What advice would you give to people?👌
Just to be kind to yourself and not beat yourself up if you are struggling with mental health. Speaking up is not a sign of weakness or failure. I was really uncomfortable about sharing my feelings with others but now found it's one of the most beneficial things I can do for.myself. I don't talk about every detail of my life but knowing that I could if I needed to is reassuring.👌
What's a good question to ask people you see are struggling?👌
I don't think there is a magic sentence that can fix all.of someone's problems but a bit of empathy can mean a lot. It doesn't need to be framed or intended as a mental.health thing it's just letting people know you are open for a chat for them to talk through something they are finding difficult and don't have to tackle things by themselves.
