Amy and Keith on Mental Health Awareness Week, 2023

In Mental Health Awareness Week 2023, two members of our community team, Keith Senior and Amy Hardcastle, chat about anxiety.

Keith, a former Great Britain, England and Leeds Rhinos centre, and Amy, a current England and Leeds Rhinos centre, discuss their own personal experiences of anxiety and share tools and techniques to manage what is a normal emotion in us all, but which sometimes can get out of control and become a mental health problem.

Lots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety, including exam pressures, relationships, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs, like heating our home or buying food. But anxiety can be made easier to manage.
