The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, shared the Mentally Healthy Football Declaration report for the year 2022 on Sunday.
The Prince shared the report on his official Twitter account.
He tweeted: “Following the success of the Heads Up campaign, I was pleased that two years ago football took on the ambition of building a mentally healthy environment throughout the game. By signing the Mentally Healthy Football Declaration, football clubs, leagues and organizations across the UK have committed to increasing the importance of mental health for years to come.
“As outlined in this report, the football community collectively has made significant progress since the declaration was signed, whether it be the 10,000 people newly trained in mental health practices or the needs of hundreds of players now better supported by wellness assessments. .
“It takes time to bring about lasting change, and I am heartened that football has come together again to reaffirm its continued commitment to instilling a mentally healthy culture at all levels, across all four nations. Only by doing this can we ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone involved in the game, whether in the locker room, on the terraces or from home.”
According to the report, more than 10,000 people have received training in mental health support, new regulations have been put in place and the football family has reaffirmed its collective commitment to prioritizing mental health at all levels of the game.
