Manchester United's academy have launched a Mental Health Awareness Month to encourage conversation around mental health.
There will be a range of activities throughout March, including sports psychology workshops, practical training sessions, roundtable discussions and branding at matches, with the aim of highlighting the work that the academy does in this area. The importance of mental health has been widely discussed in society in recent years and United hope to continue that conversation.
United's 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. Each week during March will focus on a different theme, with sessions being held on connecting, taking notice, being active, giving back and continuous learning.
