Time To Talk Day supported by multiple EFDN members

Football Foundations such as Foundation of Light, Wigan Athletic FC and Foundation 92 are taking initiative to speak up about the importance of Time to Talk Day. The day aims to help people open up and be honest about mental health, without the fear and stigma often attached to the topic. It can be daunting to express personal struggles and because of this, many people keep everything bottled up. 

Yet despite mental health problems being so common, many people are reluctant to seek the support they need – often through fear of how it might be perceived by others. All the mentioned Football Foundations support a number of projects that raise awareness of the importance of mental wellness, challenge the stigma around mental health problems and provide help to anyone who needs it.
