Swindon Town FC is working with local mental health services to highlight the support the NHS can give.
The club is teaming up with the Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire Talking Therapies service - which is run by the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
People living in Bath, North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire are currently being treated by the service, helping thousands tackle their mental health positively.
As part of their collaboration, the stadium will feature a variety of information during home matches, as well as adverts for NHS support in programmes.
The collaboration is aiming to help more local people in the area to speak up and ask for help for mental health issues including stress, anxiety and depression.
Speaking on the decision to work with the mental health services, James Watts from the club said they were proud of the initiative.
"We know that life off the pitch can be tough, and whether it’s stress, anxiety, low mood, or depression, help should always be within reach," he explained.
"Football is about community—and in our community, no one faces mental health challenges alone."
