SAMH E-Learning Course

In 2018, Walking Football Scotland was one of the first sporting organisations to sign up to Scotland’s Mental Health Charter for Physical Activity and Sport which aims to improve equality and reduce discrimination for anyone with mental health issues.
Playing walking football isn’t just good for our physical health; it can also have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing.

We are aware that people experiencing a mental health problem can find it difficult to participate in physical activity and sport and research suggests that the less physical activity a person does, the more likely they are to experience low mood, depression, tension and worry.

Have you ever wanted to be there for someone who may be is struggling, but not known what to say?
......or do you worry about saying the wrong thing?

You're not alone. Conversations about mental health can be hard. But you don't need to be a mental health professional to support others in your community.

SAMH's free e-learning course will help you practice how to talk about mental health, and feel more prepared to help others.

It takes about 90 minutes, but you don't have to do it all at once.
You can leave or take a break at any time and it will save your progress.⬇️
