Spotting the signs yourself & others
Spotting the signs in yourself & others
It’s not always straightforward to spot the signs in someone who is struggling, nor is it easy to spot the signs in ourselves either.
We wanted to share some videos, resources and information that may help you be curious about what signs can look like in different people. Also, to help you recognise some of those feelings you may be feeling, and that you don’t understand.
If you find anything that’s helped you we’d love you to share it and comment below ⬇️

The Speakeasy bench
The Speakeasy Bench
Our mission is to place a Speakeasy bench in every community sports venue in the world.
It’s human nature to crave that sense of belonging to something. A sense that we’ve lost over the last few years. Working with community sports venues across the world, we aim to create a focal point for people to come together and connect through the sport.
That’s where the Huddle bench came in. Sport has the undeniable power to not only enhance lives but save lives too. We’re not supposed to know everything that goes on inside our heads, being curious helps us to identify where we belong, and understand what our clubhouse, looks & feels like.
Each bench will have a QR code, that once scanned, takes you directly to our online clubhouse, where you can access amongst other things, free well-being resources for you and your teammates. There is a story behind how each bench is built, and now is the time to tell your story.
