Wolves mental health video. Wow

[Greavsy 2,645]

 

Wolves posted this yesterday. Is very powerful. 

I know we fight and argue about our views on here but football unites us all. 

Look after each other

❤️ 💪

Always great to see such a sadly often unspoken thing get coverage. Very good video

[Top corner 260]

What a powerful message, well done Wolves FC….We tend to bottle our emotions because we don’t want to share our emotions with family or friends, when in reality our family & friends would love to help you out. 

[Wings of a Sparrow 1,708]

There was a Norwich one fairly recently. Scarf being laid on seat. That was also very powerful.

That hit's hard. I had a phone call yesterday to say someone I know had died. People had seen him on Sunday and then his mum found him dead on the Monday. I wouldn't say that we were really close, but it still hit me for six. It's why initiatives like this are really important.

Last few years have pushed so many people to the brink, in this country and elsewhere. There are those that want to create and exploit divisions, seeking to blame the "other" - no need to name names - but it is not in human nature to live in a state of constant hatred.. we will fight to the bitter end when there is no other choice, but the need to unite and heal ourselves, our families, communities, is just as important.

I will have the wow factor on Mental Health when Football Clubs concentrate on Football and spectating of same and Mental Health Trusts and their professional ilk concentrate on Mental Health.

Football Clubs can do their bit on the latter by discouraging their employees from putting the public at serious physical risk on the highways and by promoting cost effective and user friendly access to spectating Football matches.

Will my radical Agenda catch on?

Nothing you suggest will ever catch on, because you talk complete and utter Shoite.

We must be grateful there isn't a Potato Famine now as no lasting professionalism lessons have been learnt since the 1840's.

I know this is a non-football post really, but the suicide rate has actually been pretty stagnant for ages, seems to me next to no correlation with the colour of the government, actually spiked a bit after Labour got in power in 1997, then continued the steady decline that it had been seeing since the 80s, and can perhaps best be described as pretty stagnant over the duration of Tory's time in government.

Obviously when you were seeing a downward trajectory and then it stagnates then that can't be considered a success, and you do have to wonder if it would have continued to fall a bit with sufficient mental health funding, but the idea that everybody is miserable and topping themselves because of austerity of perhaps the culture wars just isn't true (graph doesn't show 2022 and 2023 but basically no movement).

I wouldn't vote either Tory or Labour right now, but the idea that there is some sort of epidemic is wide of the mark. 

I also would seriously question whether the world is actually as bad as some people make it out to be. It used to be illegal to be gay not too many decades ago, just back to the 80s and even 90s parents would disown their children if they came out, single mothers would be stigmatised, children born out of wedlock were bas tards and social pariahs. Childrens homes and catholic schools were full of peados. National front were going around in gangs and stamping on the heads of ethnic minorities. Is the country really a worse place now?

Suicide rates are only the tip of the iceberg as they're the most obvious cases that someone's mental health is in terrible shape. That said, mental health in general is not great. Millions await mental health treatment, there's a shortage of beds, there's a chronic shortage of staff and as you essentially said before, there's been underinvestment for decades.

Severe mental illness in the UK: a crisis of compassion - The Lancet

Meanwhile there's a heck of a rise in the proportion of kids with severe mental health issues.

Basically, people might not be topping themselves, but they're hardly that content with things. Cost of living is certainly a major factor and also a key reason why the world is pretty **** right now.

Yeah I feel like I am.. I spoke to mind every week ever since and it helped just to have someone check on you and just ask how things are. It's the simple things that means a lot. 

Much love too Greavsy ❤️

Good on you for sharing that on here: I'm sure you will have helped some people just by doing so. As you say, 'don't ever be afraid to talk'.

Very glad to hear you are doing better.

On the ball, Wardy, and never mind the danger. All the best to you.

Thank you. Men shouldn't feel ashamed talking about mental health.

Admittedly I used to think huh mental health and suicide.. how selfish of people but until you get into that situation you never truly know or feel how bad it is and the only way out.

Glad to be here still

Just back today from the funeral of an ex colleague who killed himself. He's not been the first I've known. You wonder whether there's anything you could've said to change things...

I'm always around for a chat. I wouldn't know what to say and would probably bore you with talk of Lego/star wars/drumming/beer/cheese but the intention would be right.

There is nothing to say. But the fact you are there would be an immense support for anyone feeling low. Talk about anything and nothing it doesn't matter. 

We all.have a common bond in ncfc and football. Let's look after each other.

Also sorry to hear about your ex colleague.

The most gifted and funny colleague I’ve ever worked with did the same last year. When I heard of his death I guessed suicide straight away. Men especially will suffer in silence and mask their troubles in a working environment.

Let me get this straight, you criticise the club for not being community oriented enough and then pillory them for trying to do something to help mental health awareness and encourage members of the community who might be struggling to speak out and get help?

You really couldn't make it up...

The community orientation should primarily be in connection to the core business. Don't give up the day job logic.
