The Mindflow Talk Football Talk Mental Health Programme
A Match-Up is part of our Talk Football Talk Mental Health programme, delivered through an on-site session led by a Mindflow Ambassador — a former professional footballer with lived experience of pressure, silence, and resilience.
These aren’t lectures or toolkits — they’re real conversations that use the power of football and shared experience to break down barriers around mental health.
Each visit aims to:
- Break the silence and tackle the stigma around talking about mental health
- Spark peer-led conversations that encourage openness and support on site
- Connect workers with trusted support when and where it’s needed
Mindflow created these sessions because we know how tough the construction environment can be — long hours, pressure to perform, and a culture that often tells people to “get on with it.” Match-Ups help to change that culture by showing that talking about mental health is a strength, not a weakness.
