🧠 At @BRFCTrust we are passionate about promoting positive mental wellbeing in our community.
That’s why we launched #RoversLetsTalk last year.
Talking about how we feel is so important. Normalise it!
#TalkingAlwaysMakesMeFeelBetter
#MoreThanFootball
It’s the Mental Health Action Day! 🧠🎗💭💚
Research conducted by @WHO show one in four people will be affected by a mental disorder at some stage of their lives. Football can raise awareness on this important issue.

☀️ Morning @Rovers fans! I hope you're feeling well on this lovely sunny morning?
I'm doing well, but I'm really bothered about something that keeps recurring in our #PLChangemakers sessions:
Body/Beauty standards and how they affect young people!

💯 Good initiative, this.
Talk to someone if you need to. There’s never any obligation, of course, but sharing the load can often be all we need to figure things out.
🕢 Reminder: @andysmanclubuk tonight at Ewood, 7pm!

Fine. The worst four letter word. We say we’re ‘fine’ 28 times a week but most of the time we don’t mean it. Let’s stop saying we’re ‘fine’ and start talking about how we really feel. @comicrelief #RedNoseDay #FineIsNotFine

1️⃣ year ago, we launched #RoversLetsTalk to connect @Rovers fans during lockdown.
Talking about #MentalHealth remains crucial.
Today is #TimeToTalk day once more - attitudes ARE steadily changing but stigma still persists.
Let’s change it. 💚

… and yes, I do see the irony of this tweet 😀
But it goes without saying, if you ever need someone to listen, use the hashtag #RoversLetsTalk (or DM me) - being able to connect with one another is part of what makes this club so fantastic. 🔵⚪️

👂My main goal for 2022 is to encourage more reflective thinking about ‘fix it’ culture.
How often do we forgo just listening to someone, instead responding with (well-intentioned) advice?
Being listened to is hugely validating for #MentalWellbeing & often all that’s needed!

Got to be Feliz Navidad 🎄#RoversLetsTalk #TalkingAlwaysMakesMeFeelBetter
👋 Morning #Rovers fans!
➡️ How are you feeling today on a scale of 1️⃣ to 🔟?
I’m feeling quite festive today with some good songs on the radio… but it does beg the age-old question:
🎄 The best Christmas song is…❓

💙🤍 This is a fantastic reminder for a Monday morning.
Crying has long been (very) unfairly maligned… but did you know it is biologically designed to release oxytocin, which soothes emotional and physical pain?
Embrace tears!

🗣 Alexa, show me a good day at work…
In all seriousness, feedback like this is priceless.
Being there to support and listen to the young people we work with is #PLInspires at @BRFCTrust in a nutshell!
It’s great to see it makes a difference!

Middle Lane drivers (when the inside lane is clear!) on the motorways. 😡
Does that bother anyone else?!

💚 You’ll hear so many things about #MentalHealth today, which is really important.
If I could add one thought of my own… #WorldMentalHealthDay becomes *every* day if we finally eliminate the stigma and normalise talk around mental health.
#TalkingAlwaysMakesMeFeelBetter 👇
We know how hard the pandemic has made life, particularly for football fans, and that too many people are still not getting the support they need. So we’re asking you to join us today & take action for better mental health. #WMHD #DoOneThing

💚 This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay let’s take a moment to think about our #MentalHealth as a whole.
If we normalise talking about our feelings, struggles and vulnerabilities, we are much less likely to reach crisis point.
Let’s end the stigma. 👇

Yes, I'm a huge @coldplay fan but these lyrics are also a great reminder to chase things that make you happy and ditch the things that don't!
