Mental Health Friendly Clubs

About this service

The Mental Health Friendly Clubs programme is a specialized initiative led by Public Health to support sports and physical activity organizations across Rutland. Recognizing the unique power of sport to unite people and improve wellbeing, this program provides clubs with free mental health and suicide prevention training. This ensures that coaches, volunteers, and committee members can create a safe, inclusive atmosphere for adult participants who may be struggling with their mental health. Beyond training, the program offers ongoing resources and support to help clubs integrate wellness into their regular activities. By participating, clubs become vital community hubs where members can de-stress and build connections, knowing that their mental health is valued as much as their physical performance, ultimately aiding individuals on their journey toward lasting recovery.
