The Reds’ official charity is investing in a universal mental health programme in partnership with Action for Children, which will be delivered in schools across Merseyside.
The new 12-week programme is designed to help children recognise the signs of mental health issues, look at techniques and strategies to improve their mental health, and where to go if they have concerns.
The new funding will also support a dedicated professional counsellor for LFC Foundation, who will be available to provide crisis intervention to any participants referred by Foundation coaches and staff working in the local community. In addition, there will be drop-in community-based provision also led by specialists to provide advice and guidance, where needed.
