The Lions have set up a series of both live and pre-recorded Zoom mentoring sessions, which see players and coaching staff focus on fitness, nutrition and mental health as well as integrating back into peer interaction and re-engaging with sport.
Research commissioned by the club during the pandemic found 35 per cent of people aged 18-24 currently feel displaced and outside of the norm, with these figures increasing to 38 per cent in the BAME community.
The ‘Getting Back to Your Team’ Zoom session focuses on the challenges around returning into peer and friendship groups, with players drawing from their own experiences to offer guidance on the best methods to feel part of a social group again.
