It comes a year after Norwich City and Stephen Fry came together to send another powerful message in a video leaving fans with goosebumps with some shedding a tear.
The Championship club say theyโre proud to use their platform for good to highlight the worrying rates of suicide and to find help if they need assistance.
They used the much-anticipated kit reveal to drive maximum awareness of this campaign and to reach as many of their fans as possible.
Norwich add that โIn one year alone, 518 people in East Anglia took their own life and data shows that the average age of our season ticket holders (49) is in the bracket of people most at risk.
โWith help from Norfolk and Waveney Mind, the club learned how the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and rising cost of living are causing more concerns.
โNorfolk and Waveney Mind have been instrumental in helping deliver this campaign. Their work in the local area continues to help so many. The charity offers mental health and wellbeing support to those in need.โ
The 2 minute 30 second clip published on the clubโs Twitter on Tuesday morning is a must watch and listen.

@BurneyMcr1: Poignant video that. Life affects everyone. I had a great time in Munich at weekend but Iโve been a carer for my wife for 18 months, my grandad too & not really been able to work as much. Had family issues for years which broke me & lead me to a therapist. You never know โค๏ธ Talk
@_Will_Mulhall: Powerful. Moving. Accurate. The people closest to you maybe struggling and you wouldnโt even know. Itโs so important to talk. Nobody should ever feel like they are alone. So text a friend, talk, do your bit for those around you. #WorldMentalHealthDay #YouAreNotAlone
@J2arlow: This is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. You never know whatโs going on in peopleโs lives, usually those who are the loudest are the loneliest ๐๐
