Football Group

Our Football Group works in partnership with Stenhousemuir Football Club  and we are currently receiving weekly coaching sessions on:

  • Friday – 3.30pm – 4.30pm (Main Pitch)

The football group is non gender specific and the aim of the project is for football to help in people’s recovery as it can help to manage symptoms and can radically improve the quality of people’s lives.  There are three key ways that football can help:

  • Delivering social inclusion
  • Helping physical health and well being
  • Improving peoples mental health

Without exception, our current group members have reported significant improvement in their physical and mental health whilst attending the group .  Football as a whole is also very successful in engaging young adults who wouldn’t attend a ‘typical’ mental health service due to the stigma attached and their preconceived perceptions.
