Saints By Your Side
OFF YOUR GAME? WE'RE IN YOUR CORNER
Saints By Your Side is a mental health programme run by Saints Foundation in partnership with Southampton FC and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board.
Together, we're kickstarting the conversation around mental health and encouraging our community to get talking – this site is full of useful tips to improve wellbeing and signposts towards more help available.
We know that men are far less likely to seek support for their mental health. Saints Foundation runs 12-week programmes of support sessions here at St Mary's Stadium, giving men from the local community a space to come together and learn ways to improve their wellbeing. Register your interest below and a member of the team will be in contact.
In addition to the face-to-face programme of support for men living in Southampton, this website contains lots of useful advice and guidance designed to help anyone manage their mental health.
One in four of us is affected by a mental health problem in any year and many more of us know and care for people who do. If you imagine a packed St Mary’s on a matchday, one in four equates to just over the entire Chapel Stand.
Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 20-49 in England and Wales – if we talked about mental health as much as we talk about football, we can take steps to look out for ourselves and each other. So, let us tackle the stigma surrounding mental health together.
