Reminder that ALL FA cup games kick off a Minute later this weekend with a 1 minutes Silence, part of the Heads Up Mental Health Awareness Campaign.

It is hoped that the initiative will raise awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health, with 60 seconds representing just the first step in the journey to improved wellbeing. During the minute delay, fans will be encouraged to consider the positive impact 60 seconds can have on their own wellbeing or in supporting a friend or family member.

A Reminder this former has a Mental Health Section https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?forums/mental-health.40/

Lets give Mental Health Stigma a

I don't think it's a minutes silence but it of course is a good initiative to continue to raise the awareness.

I believe it's a 1 minute video, but early reports on it said a Minutes silence. As it's a video, it would of been better being played at Half-time on ALL screens in the Grounds. To many will miss it getting to their seats etc. But it is a good initiative.

When mental health first got hold of me, there was a massive stigma, I tried to work on, then one night everything came crushing down, fell into a trance at work, self-harmed, got sent home. Company was great at first, then sent me to a Doctor for assessment, He told them 10-15 years, so they laid me off. 4 weeks later DWP sent me for their assessment, couldn't believe my luck it was the same Doctor. Until he found me fit for work under DWP rules. So pushed me further down, sent the DWP my Work Assessment and started legal action, Suddenly not fit for work. But the Stigma is not there anymore, I can tell people the crap I go through (not so much the crap that put me here), people are more understanding. Well was, must admit last 2 years have not been easy. So any initiatives that get people talking about it, get people thinking, shows where services are and how to access them is great. No one is alone no more, and I more than happy to listen to people etc if they want to inbox me.

Very brave of you to describe your experience. Hope things improve for you, and I'd agree that raising awareness and where/how to access services are crucial.

Well done for posting this. As PNE Monster just said it was brave of you to do this. I say this because up until about about 6 years ago I used to be pretty dismissive of these sorts of things. In the last six years I’ve become aware that a few of my closest friends are suffering very badly and it’s destroyed their lives.
Respect to you.

Well done spender
It’s through initiatives like this and posts like yours that we will start to remove the stigma and create awareness of just how debilitating mental health can be.

If anyone need a timely reminder that mental health is a real issue , then it came yesterday with the very sad suicide of former footballer Chris Barker..... let’s not be afraid to be open and honest about it
 
Think this is a relevant thread to remind folk of our dedicated Mental Health section which you can post anonymously (if you wish) on all things related to your wellbeing or just if you want some support ot a vent.

Many of us on this forum sadly know the negative impact of not being able to speak out about mental health.

Fortunately I also know of many good news stories following folk reaching out and receiving support from fellow PNE fans.

It's ok not to be ok.

I think, fortunately, that a lot of men’s views on mental health have started to change. For the better in my opinion
