Mental Health

The FAHeads Up are an FA charity partner, aiming to tackle mental health both in and out of the game

In times like these, looking after both our physical and mental health is of the utmost importance.

Coronavirus is affecting different people for different reasons, and it's important for everyone to know that whatever you’re going through, it’s okay to talk about it.

We’ve pulled together some tips and advice from our charity partners to help you navigate through this difficult time.

We're all living through extraordinary times, and as a result we’re all facing different challenges, stresses and pressures. It’s important to remember that whatever you’re going through and however it’s making you feel, it’s okay to talk about it – everyone reacts differently to different events, and often talking can be an important first step in helping you feel better.

It’s also important to remember that our charity partners and other mental health charities in the UK are here for you and ready to give you the support and guidance you might need through this challenging time.

Coronavirus may be a physical illness, but its implications have far-reaching effects on mental health too, and in the coming weeks it will be increasingly important to look after these challenges as best as possible.

Below we have collated some of the support, information, and tips that are available to help us all get through this difficult period.
