TALKWORKS (Devon’s NHS Talking Therapies service) and the Devon County Football Association are launching a partnership to encourage more adults across Devon to access mental health and wellbeing support.
The partnership will see TALKWORKS supporting players, club officials and FA staff across Devon, aged 18+, who are experiencing low mood, stress, anxiety, or sleep difficulties.
The NHS service also has a dedicated Talking Health team, experienced in supporting adults with long-term health conditions, to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.
Working together, TALKWORKS and the Devon County FA want to normalise conversations around mental health, both in locker rooms and in the wider community. The NHS service were recently in attendance at Devon FA 567s small-sided football league, where they held conversations with players and staff about how to look after their health and wellbeing, both on and off the field.
