Anyone can be affected by mental health issues and we recognise that this can start at a very young age. Many different things can trigger mental health difficulties. Many people feel they can not talk about difficulties they are facing. This could be because of fear of being judged, being isolated and having no one to talk to, feeling ashamed, not understanding why they feel the way they do and/or being unsure of what help is available.
The Frank Bruno Foundation will offer wellbeing programmes and structured non-contact boxing sessions for any one over the age of 10 years; who are experiencing problems with mental ill-health. The Round by Round programme will consist of 2 weekly sessions of emotional wellbeing and non-contact boxing. Sessions will be age and ability appropriate. The centre will be open 5 days a week for different clients to access. To discuss future referrals in the first instance please contact info@thefrankbrunofoundation.co.uk.
The aim is to bring healthy-body and healthy mind approaches together to provide a holistic and enjoyable approach to supporting all clients with mental ill health.
Focusing on these key areas will help to support social inclusion and to fight stigma. The programme will strive to assist participants to build on their existing physical and emotional strengths and achievements. Our aspiration is that participants will use the skills they learn on the programme to develop a happier, more fulfilling and successful future.
