Manchester United launch Academy Mental Health Awareness Month

The month aims to highlight the important work that the Academy does throughout the year in this area.

The Academy has worked closely with health organisations and charities to devise a bespoke programme which seeks to promote mental health and wellbeing across its world-leading youth development system.

A range of activities will take place during March including sports psychology workshops, practical training sessions, roundtable discussions and branding at matches.

Each week will focus on a different theme, adopting the ‘five ways to wellbeing’ recommended by Mind, with sessions being held on connecting, taking notice, being active, giving back and continuous learning.
