[OPINION] Mental Health via GrandOldTeam
Aaron Lennon’s return to training has spurred me on to write a few things about mental health, and the
thread we have on GrandOldTeam about help on the issue.
I am extremely pleased to see the return to training of a man who was clearly in turmoil. While his method of a cry for help was perhaps not what we would advise, his experience certainly shows that once help is sought and provided, it can really improve a persons life.
World Mental Health day is a wonderful thing, and retweeting messages of support once a year is great, however sufferers need help all year round, not just when it is trendy.
The thread I began out of frustration for my wife’s experience with post natal depression has helped a lot of people.
We’ve even had a few notes saying it’s stopped them from doing something awful. I say this not to pat ourselves on the back, but rather to highlight the good that comes from helping people who need help.
Also, when I started it, never in a million years did I think I’d need the help the thread offers myself – but need it I did. Well done all those who continue to contribute, you really do make a difference.
