The Duke of Cambridge and Chelsea Head Coach Frank Lampard joined football fans to watch England’s match with the Czech Republic ⚽️🍻 and discuss the importance of encouraging more people – particularly men – to feel comfortable talking about their mental health, and feel able to support their friends and families || 11 October 2019
Men are less likely than women to speak about their mental health (41% for men in comparison with 56% for women), and suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 45.
The simple act of starting a conversation can often be the start of a more positive future.
Each of the fans in the pub with The Duke and Frank to watch #CZEENG has been supported by Mind Charity and CALM – and were joined by someone who has supported them through difficult times in the past.
Football is a powerful way for men to have a conversation about how they are feeling, whether it is watching a game with their mates or having a kick around with friends or teammates – through Heads Up we want to help everyone feel as comfortable talking about mental health as they are talking football.
