With today (Wednesday, 10th September) marking World Suicide Prevention Day, we are proud to be one of the 20 clubs to announce the new initiative. Football has a unique ability to bring people together, recognised by the ‘Inside Matters’, campaign, which marks our long-term commitment to supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing across players, fans, communities and schools. At Crystal Palace, in tandem with Together Against Suicide, we aim to encourage open conversations on suicide prevention, and signpost fans to the expert services that exist. Supporters can alternatively call Croydon Council’s 24-hour mental health crisis line on 0800 731 2864 (option 1). Readers can also reach out to Sporting Chance – the mental health charity for professional sportspeople – and Hub of Hope, the UK’s largest mental health support directory, which contains details of tens of thousands of mental health support services across the country.
