One Step Ahead of Mental Health
What is it all about?
One Step Ahead of Mental Health is a powerful awareness initiative, created with the support of an incredible team of volunteers and well-known personalities who have faced their own mental health challenges.
At the heart of the campaign is the release of the song Lean On Me, chosen by the founder of the initiative as a message of hope, connection, and support for those who may be struggling.
Who is it for?
The initiative is aimed at children and parents involved in grassroots football, many of whom may be experiencing mental health struggles such as self-harm or suicidal thoughts. By raising awareness in this space, we hope to create an environment where no one feels they have to suffer in silence.
Launch and beyond
The campaign launches with the release of Lean On Me during the weekend of 6–7 September, and will continue into the grassroots football season 2025/26 and beyond.
