Toolkit for mental health and football

The Football Association and Time to Change have produced a fantastic toolkit for mental health and football: www.TheFA.com/timetochange

Time to Change is a national campaign to promote the inclusion of people with mental health problems.

The toolkit includes top tips, videos and best practice guides. It contains:

- An introduction to mental health
- Information for grassroots clubs
- A guide to setting up new sport and mental health projects
- A guide to delivering new mental health projects
- Additional sources of help and information.

Time to Change are happy for people to download the content and amend any of it for use in football or other sporting contexts. Please just give credit to Time to change!

It’s particularly important for sport to be inclusive of people with mental health problems, because of the benefits that sport can offer. For some people with mental health problems, sport and physical activity can be the most effective form of "treatment".

FC United is starting to develop its work around football and mental health. If you would like to get involved, contact Tony Nuttall on 07758 836854 or Tom Vaudrey on 07413 48 6527.
