Tackling mental health in sport

SPORTS

Helping clubs normalise mental illness and improve performance on and off the pitch.

The pressure to perform in sport is not to be taken lightly. While not as easily diagnosable as physical injuries, mental illness (including stress and anxiety) is commonplace among our athletes and more needs to be done to prevent it becoming overwhelming and all-consuming.

The conversation about mental health issues in sportspeople has been started. But with the right resources, sports organisations can do more to champion mental health and help players better manage their wellbeing.

How it works

1. Wellbeing Survey Invitation

Individuals are invited to complete a wellbeing survey via our user-friendly web platform. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete. Our question set typically focuses on five key areas: Mind, Body, Emotion, Fulfilment, and Financial Wellbeing. Your organisation has complete control over the question set, the frequency of survey invitations.

2. Signposting & Support

Based on the survey responses, we provide tailored signposting and support. This step ensures that individuals receive the necessary resources and empower them to proactively manage their wellbeing.

3. Organisational Insights

We offer comprehensive organisational insights and clear visibility into those who might be struggling and need further support. Our benchmarking tools allow you to measure happiness and wellbeing across your entire organisation, helping you make informed decisions to foster a positive and supportive environment.
