Troy Deeney + Alex Scott | Talking mental health for Heads Up

An incredibly honest and inpsiring converation between Watford's Troy Deeney and Alex Scott who sit down together and share their honest and personal experiences of mental health.

They talk about their similar upbringings; about the pressure to prove people wrong; about Troy's time in prison and how it led him to therapy; and Alex's experience of intense and horrific online bullying and trolling, which took her to a dark place.

Mainly, they talk about the importance of conversation - and how talking about what you're feeling and whatever you're going through can change your life.

Heads Up is a season-long campaign, harnessing the power and influence of football to change the conversation on mental health. Through the Heads Up #SoundOfSupport series, we will keep breaking the silence around mental health – showing that talking about how we feel and what we’re going through is more important than ever – and encouraging everyone everywhere to make their support heard by those who need it.
