I think we feel a huge responsibility for our area and for our community. You always want to be able to do more, to have all the answers"

Key takeaways from this podcast

1. There are practical things you can do and learn to help support others around you with their mental health.

2. Football and wider sport are great vehicles for helping bring suicide support to communities around Scotland and break down stigma.

For Ross County CEO Steven Ferguson, football has a fundamental role in helping to promote good mental health, right across the community. As a result, for the first time in its history, Ross County Football Club is sporting a charity logo on its strip – Mikeysline. In this frank and thought-provoking conversation, on World Mental Health Day, Mikeysline Ambassador Steven Ferguson talks to Dan Holland about the importance of good mental health both on and off the pitch and how he views both his own role and the role of Ross County as a vehicle of support.

If you need someone to talk to, you can text Mikeysline on 07786 20 77 55 or contact via messenger, webchat or X. Sun-Thurs 6pm-10pm & Fri-Sat 6pm-11pm.
