Sky Sports has partnered with the Mental Health Foundation to provide practical resources and two short films for World Mental Health Day on October 10. Sky Sports' Paul Merson features in the campaign, which aims to encourage open conversations about mental health across the sporting community.
Please note that Paul Merson mentions suicidal thoughts in the video. Support is available for anyone affected by the topics discussed. If you are worried about your mental health, you can get advice and support through your GP.
If you are thinking about ending your life, call 999 in the UK or go to your nearest A&E and ask for the contact of the crisis resolution team. Free, confidential support is also available from Samaritans by calling 116 123 at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Those who prefer to text can contact SHOUT by texting 85258, also available 24/7.
Viewers who wish to support good mental health for all can donate to The Mental Health Foundation through its website.
