Episode 11 - Growing up with Grief

Connor Yeats got in touch through mental health charity, Back Onside, about sharing his story to help raise awareness. From growing up as a young lad who had strong family connections, he talks about how losing some family members affected his mental health, causing him to start drinking excessively and needing support, which he found through Back Onside and from counselling sessions when he was as young as 9 years old. Connor has always been involved in football and chats about how that has been a massive thing in his life to help him through the tough times.
