A mental health workshop organised by Oxford United is set to take place next week.
Kassam Stadium will host the club's first mental health workshop as part of their 'Can We Talk?' campaign from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday, November 11.
The workshop, in partnership with Oxfordshire Mind and the Joey Beauchamp Foundation, aims to tackle the issue of suicide, with someone in England taking their own life every 90 minutes on average.
The club is inviting supporters and non-supporters to attend the event in a bid to create the largest club-led mental health workshop in the country.
Those who are interested in attending have been asked to fill out an online form.
The evening will see United player Will Vaulks, Luke Beauchamp, the brother of club legend Joey, and several mental health experts from Oxfordshire Mind share their insights.
Hosted by Oxfordshire Mind, it aims to equip attendees with simple steps to manage their mental health, alongside information on where to seek further help.
A conversation panel featuring Mr Vaulks, Mr Beauchamp, and Oxfordshire Mind’s CEO will see the trio discuss personal experiences and mental health management strategies.
There will also be a chance for guests to come together through group discussions.
Oxfordshire Mind and Samaritans provide free, year-round mental health support on 01865 247 788 and 116 123, respectively.
