Montrose talk mental health
Written By SPFL Trust Media Centre
Episode three of the Football Powered Podcast focusses on mental health, with guests from Montrose Community Trust and Dunfermline Athletic.
We know that football has the power to have a positive impact on the lives of people across the country, especially when it comes to mental health.
On the latest episode of the Football Powered Podcast we hear from Kerr Waddell, Montrose defender and Project Officer at Montrose Community Trust who has been very open about his own mental health. He now uses his own lived experience to deliver The Changing Room.
The Changing Room, delivered in partnership with SAMH and funded by Movember, is our flagship mental health programme, run by Scottish football clubs and associated community trusts. It has been one of the most powerful sport intervention programmes we’ve seen in Scotland.
Clubs across the country are ready to deliver The Changing Room in season 2022/23. One of them is Montrose, who are having a real positive impact on the mental health of people attending the programme.
Mental health and is something that remains so important to the SPFL Trust. Our strategy, Football Powered, outlines the extraordinary work that football does in the community, and that extends to supporting people with their wellbeing.
