Supporting our Supporters

[LustForLeith]

Hi folks

Myself and a fellow Hibee Dave Thompson have been hosting drop ins of the Changing Room which help men tackle mental health through football.

It’s now being relaunched as Supporting Our Supporters with the first new drop in this Monday at 6pm at the Famous Five

If you’re male and fancy coming along it’s free, safe and confidential. I’m recent sessions we’ve had Yogi Hughes come along while we’ve discussed a wide range of subjects. Weirdly enough we hardly talk about Hibs! We’re hoping to have something similar for women on the future

While things haven’t gone as we’d like on the park there’s been some great stuff done by the club and the community foundation off the park.

I’ve included a link with more info. Included is Paul’s story who came along after seeing a post about the changing room on here. Thankfully he’s in a better place now than he was

Thanks

Well played Lustforleith and Dave. A much needed community resource

[JimBHibees]

Absolutely fantastic work 👏

[LustForLeith]

Just a wee bump for tomorrow 👍

[LustForLeith]

Just to say we’ve got a walk and talk around the Easter Road pitch on Monday night. Meeting at 6pm at the famous five stand. A chance for men to tackle their mental health while doing a bit of physical activity

See you there

With the added bonus you get to meet amazing people like Paul, Dave and LFL I may add…

I forget which channel but they used to have the strap line “everyone needs a place to think” well I think perhaps through COVID some folks realise “everyone needs a place to talk”.

As Bob Hoskins used to say “it’s good to talk” (if you want to) but IMO sometimes pressures of modern life get in the way of that, everyone is different, but it can be helpful to take time for yourself, be kind to yourself. Maybe give it a try, even if you think maybe this is not me and see for yourself.

Hi folks!

Just to say we’ve got a walk and talk this coming Monday. Meeting at Easter Road at the famous five stadium for 6pm

All gong well it’ll be around the pitch at Easter Road. A chance for men to tackle mental health while working on their physical health.

See you there

Disappointing this is only for men.

There are plans underway to have a women’s changing room/supporting our supporters thing. It’s maybe taken longer to get off the ground but there will be something similar for women

Myself and Dave who co host this did consider helping with a female version but decided against it. Here’s hoping it won’t be long before there’s more

If you’ve got any questions then give me a shout. Happy to help 👍

[Hillsidehibby]

I had issues a few years back and thankfully got through it with a mixture of elimination, exercise and talking. I wish this was around then.

We're going to try and record a podcast episode (derby preview) immediately after it for anyone that wants to stick around and contribute questions/watch as well.

It'll be the first time we've done this other than the live shows we did for Shortbangers so it depends on us being able to technically figure out what we need to make it work but if you're not in a rush to get home we'd love to see you there and have you hang about for half an hour or so with us.

[andrew70]

Would have loved to have made this tonight but with the AGM and the derby this week 3 nights away from the bairn just wouldn’t work.

Have a good one.

[matty_f]

We had a great evening, not sure how many there are also on here but it was brilliant to speak to everyone and a real buzz to record an episode with a wee audience from the press room!

[wookie70]

Great night Matty enjoyed the chat and the live podcast. I hope the confidence in the room for the podcast for the Derby will be well founded.
