Mentoring

What is a mental health mentor?

• a specialist providing 1-1 support in an informal setting

• they are external, meaning they have no involvement in your club whatsoever

• they are not meant to be a counsellor or a therapist, but rather someone to give advice

• our mental health mentor is trained in mental health first aid and suicide prevention

​

Why would you use a mental health mentor?​

​As an athlete:

• if you or someone in your team is struggling with mental health, he can be someone to talk to and give you advice

​

As a coach:

• if you have an athlete who is struggling with their mental health, the mental health mentor can give you advice on what to do or say to them

• if you are struggling with mental health yourself, he can help you and be someone to talk to

​

As someone involved in sport in another way (committee member, parent, ...):

• he can give you advice on what to say or do if you think an athlete might be struggling

• if you are struggling with the demands placed on you, he can be someone to talk to and give you advice
