Cardiff City FC launches Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, Cardiff City Football Club have today launched a new Mental Health & Psychological Trauma Informed Response Strategy.

This strategy outlines Cardiff City Football Club’s aspirations, commitment, and pathways to help our staff and players with mental health and emotional wellbeing support and trauma-informed care. The Club's vision is to implement an evidenced, informed and sector leading approach to promoting mental health and wellbeing practices and response processes.

Cardiff City FC Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo, said of the launch: “We are delighted to launch this new mental health and wellbeing strategy. We want everyone involved with Cardiff City FC to be educated and supported with the skills to be resilient, the awareness to detect if someone is struggling, and to know what Club and outside resources are available when more professional help is required. I would like to thank Dr Mikel Mellick and Cardiff Metropolitan University for their support in producing this strategy and for their wider work across our mental health & wellbeing programme.”
