Team Talk Turns 5

23/05/2024

 

This year marks the 5th anniversary of our men’s mental health project, ‘Team Talk’.

 

Team Talk is a men's mental health project which started in May 2019. The group meet every Monday from 6pm-8pm at Cappielow Park, Greenock. Team Talk provides an opportunity for men to talk, meet new people and be part of a group. There is no registration required, you can simply turn up.

 

·       260 meetings

 

·       Over 520 hours of talking 

 

Team Talk participants rated their feelings from 1-10 (1 being poor and 10 being excellent) on how they remember feeling the first time they attended Team Talk. The initial average rating was between 1-3, and now, the average rating is 8-9.

 

“Team Talk gives me hope”

“Team Talk showed me that there is a light”

“Team Talk is my community”

“Team Talk gave me strength”

“Team Talk allowed me to see a future”

 

One of our Team Talk participants, Stephen, took part in a powerful video for Mental Health Awareness week where he opened up and told us how Team Talk has changed his life. Watch here - https://x.com/MortonCommunity/status/1791062509383798972
