The Football Association has published a new guide for coaches and managers working across the adult football pyramid. The guide advises them on how to support the mental wellbeing of the football participants with whom they come into contact.
The publication is part of the ‘Heads Up’ campaign, launched by The FA in partnership with Heads Together, a mental health initiative spearheaded by The Royal Foundation, of which FA President Prince William is a co-founder and patron.
Please click this link to download a copy of the publication. We encourage you to share the publication with anyone you feel would benefit from reading the guide, so collectively we can create the biggest conversation on mental health to date.
