Still so proud to facilitate this programme as I have seen the success it can have on men who attend. Men do talk and are very good at it if given the right environment

@KBHewitt21 is an inspiration and love and proud to facilitate together for The Changing Room project. I see first hand his honesty, vulnerability but more importantly his ability to help change lives by just being his true self. Huge respect 👏👏

Kyle Hewitt, 37, from Dyce attended Changing Room Extra Time at @AberdeenFC. 

He says: "I grew up aware of mental health and its potential impacts on people and those around them because of my own experience.

"But sometimes I didn’t feel like I had the ability to face the world. I had low moments as a parent and a husband, I wasn’t always nice to be around, and I could be hyper-critical of myself.

“Then I embarked on a journey through Extra Time with like-minded men and amazing facilitators from @SAMHtweets.

"I realised I had been deflecting, avoiding and bottling things up. I was able to give myself credit for what I was doing.

"I also became more resilient, and better at creating positive habits and finding ways to change my outlook and mind-set. I have thrived as a result.”

Kyle is pictured with Cabinet Secretary Neil Gray here at Pittodrie.

This is fantastic news as I have seen first hand the positive impact that both The Changing Room and The Changing Room - Extra Time has had on the men who have attended the sessions. These projects are not only life changing but life saving.

To mark our next chapter & better reflect what we do, our name is changing.

We are now SAMH, Scottish Action for Mental Health.

Because action is what is needed for Scotland’s mental health, today and tomorrow.
