Upcoming Sessions

Our 6 and 12-week programs are typically funded and supported by local councils, organisations, or community projects. We facilitate mental health-focused sports training sessions with a unique approach each week, all aimed at alleviating life pressures on mental health and addressing the stigma around open and honest conversations.

Current 6 and 12 week programmes

Supported by experienced sports and talking therapy coaches, each session focuses on a different mental health topic each week, while still providing mental health and wellbeing support in a secure and trusted environment.

Where and when?

Drop-in Sessions

Registration required, but ongoing drop in sessions are available in some areas.

When we started, the drop in sessions were the first version of Head In The Game. Over time, we’ve established that the most impact on participants comes from the more structured 12 week sessions. We still run drop-in sessions where we can, or encourage previous locations to run their own sessions as a HITG Legacy project, such as MindStones in Maidstone and Talking Goals in Sittingbourne.

Current drop in & legacy sessions

These sessions give men and women in the local community the chance to come together and enjoy the beautiful game on an ad-hoc basis. The weekly sessions are free and for men between the ages of 18-55 of ANY footballing ability. These sessions are part of our legacy project network, which are run by HITG partners who continue our work in their respective communities.
