Changing Room Drop In At Easter Road

Hi folks,

There’s a drop in tonight for the Changing Room. It’s a twelve week programme to help men tackle their mental health through football. I’ve been both a participant and a volunteer and it’s helped me.

If you can make it to the stadium we’re meeting at 6 at the Famous Five stand. It’ll be in a similar way to the Heidbangers episodes of Longbangers. We’re not mental health experts. Instead there will be a chance for men to talk (if they want!) about their own mental health or mental health in general.

It’s free, confidential and safe.

If anyone wants more information then feel free to PM me.

💚

great stuff!

Cheers mate!

Good wee drop in last night. Details of the next one to follow!

Hi folks,

The next drop in for The Changing Room is this Monday. We’ll be meeting at 6 at the Famous Five stand. It’s a chance for men of all ages to tackle their mental health through football. It’s free, safe and confidential.

The structure of it is quite relaxed. A bit of chat about Hibs/football then a bit of chat about mental health. Don’t worry, if you don’t want to talk you won’t be forced to.

Here’s a bit of info about The Changing Room

Here’s a bit of recent press coverage about the changing room at Hearts

Thanks

Thanks for the reminder :aok:

On the video presentation it says men between 30-64 yet on the above it says men of all ages, which one is the correct one.

Men of all ages.

Intially it was men in their middle years. However we decided to open that up for the drop ins

And to confirm it’s next Monday 30 not tonight! I’ve asked admins to delete!

Sorry!!!

Wee bump for the drop in tonight 👍

To paraphrase tis a good thing that you do, particularly in these times of massive financial pressure on so many of us.
Us guys really do find it hard to talk but the relief it brings when you do is impossible to quantify.
