Fans praise football club's mental health video

Artist Reepa wore a blindfold and held a sign at Molineux Stadium

A football club's video encouraging people to talk about their mental health has been praised by people on social media for its "powerful" message.

The 10-minute video, filmed before Wolves' match against Luton, captured fans' responses to a sign raising awareness of suicide.

Many shared their own stories, but it has had an even greater impact online, with 8.7 million people viewing it on X.

Artist Reepa said he had received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback and appreciated people reaching out to him.

"This is so touching. Such a lovely and powerful gesture. Literally had tears in my eyes in the 1st minute of watching," one user wrote.

Another wrote: "Well done. We need to look out for each other. We all get swallowed by the darkness at some point and need that little support to get us through."

Carlton Morris said the video made him think about how much football meant to fans

In the film, Reepa stands blindfolded, holding a sign highlighting how common suicide has become among both men and women.

Passers-by shared hugs with him and their stories of struggling with mental health, prompting people on social media to relate their own experiences.

"Anyone else affected watching big up yourselves, keep pushing & know you are blessed," he added.

'Puts things into perspective'

It also prompted users on X to reach out, inviting fans to meet up and watch future games together.

"Please don't suffer in silence. There is always somebody that will listen," the club posted.

Luton striker Carlton Morris said the video by Wolves "touched a nerve", when speaking to Sky Sports.

"Seeing how much the football means to the fans and that how much we actually do impact people's lives, it made me think about that.

"It puts things into perspective because these guys, they work all week to come and watch us kick a football about," he added.
