♪ I've been waiting for you ♪
The world of football has learnt in recent years that mental health cannot be left out of the game, and more recently a new suicide prevention toolkit was launched to support those who live with the sport - players, technical committee, coaches and family members.
A cause
Debbie Beard and Amanda Thorpe are both people who have personal stories about the subject, but it's because of their intimate knowledge of the effects of silence on mental health that they helped create this toolkit, a practical suicide prevention material focused around football.
The launch
The presentation of the material began with a conversation conducted by BBC journalist Simon Jack, who interviewed Debbie Beard and Amanda Thorpe during the launch event.The purpose of this interview was to explain how the toolkit works in practice and why it comes at a time when Brazilian and international football is openly discussing an issue that has been treated as taboo for a long time on dresses, not suits or benches.
♪ Or who moves for or twists
For those who live with football as their heart's team, the message is straightforward: talking about mental health saves lives. The toolkit serves as a reference for anyone who perceives warning signs in a friend, family member or teammate and does not know how to act.
No Brasil, servidores e voluntários do Centro de Valorização da Vida (CVV) responded by telephone 188, free of charge and confidentially, 24 hours per day a channel that continues to be the gateway but quickest way to help in the country.
Where are we now?
The kit has just been launched and is now being circulated among football clubs, leagues and organisations.A conversation between Debbie Beard, Amanda Thorpe and Simon Jack marked the beginning of this disclosure phase and reinforced that the debate on suicide prevention was not here to stay.
