Awareness of mental health has certainly been in the news in recent times in the world of sport with a number of high-profile cases coming to the fore.

So, embracing the theme the Demons recently invited "State of Mind" to come along to Castle Park and talk about mental health to their playing squad.

This subject is one close to many players and something which as a team we support wholeheartedly. The Demons are in full support of mental health awareness and breaking the stigma that often comes from this subject.

The session delivered by "State of Mind" was very emotional but also eye opening. The journeys of the speakers related to you not only as an individual but also as a rugby player.

The event opened a door for some of the players, as they in turn opened up to the team about their struggles and as a group we put what we had just learnt into practice and came together for them.

We would recommend this to everyone, it doesn't matter what you do, who you are, if you play any sport or just support consider holding a "State of Mind" session and support mental health awareness.

If you would like to come along and support the Demons their next two fixtures are away at Sleaford tomorrow afternoon, before a home game here at Castle Park against Scunthorpe next Sunday 19th January.
