MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT AND ADVICE - GETTING CHELSEA FANS OVER THE LINE TO A BETTER PLACE
Pat yourself on the back! Since you are reading this, we would like to tell you to be proud of yourself. You may have come here because you are struggling, finding things a little (or a lot) challenging, getting through life with a heavy burden or load on your back. You may have decided it is time to do something about it.
OVER THE LINE is a safe space to explore and learn about mental health started by The Chelsea Supporters Trust. Over several years now, the issue of mental health among fellow Chelsea supporters and football fans in general has been a growing concern, especially with the growth of social media and how we have come to learn about difficult and tragic stories.
Inspired by The Sunderland Supporters Trust who set up a match day hub at the Stadium of Light, CST decided to create OVER THE LINE as an education and signposting service to help Chelsea fans find their way through difficult times. We are very grateful indeed to the volunteers who support this service and to Chelsea FC and the Premier League for supporting us.
On the following pages there is information to help you make that next step, to get OVER THE LINE and begin your journey to a happier, more contented place and to find the tools to cope. It can be a long road, but we hope that here you will find the resources you need. Click and explore and see where it takes you.
