MENTAL<br />

HEALTH<br />

& WELLBEING<br />

Every year, one-in-four people experiences a mental health problem.<br />

Don’t think that the glamour and riches experienced by those who play<br />

professional sport means they’re any different: on the contrary, more<br />

and more high-profile athletes are speaking out about their own battles<br />

with mental health, the stigma attached to admitting their struggles and<br />

the resulting lack of support they have received.<br />

We explore how athlete support staff and organisations currently<br />

respond to, manage and prevent mental illness, and to identify<br />

successful programmes and approaches that can be shared between<br />

sports.<br />
