'Talk About It Mate' at our latest Warm Hub event
Manchester United will welcome representatives from a local peer support group, Talk About It Mate, to Old Trafford for Monday’s Warm Hub to help overcome the stigma of talking about mental illness.
Monday's Warm Hub will be focused on people struggling with their mental wellbeing who can benefit from the support provided by Talk About It Mate.
The middle Monday in January is often referred to as ‘Blue Monday,’ because of the attention placed on mental health and wellness issues at this time of year.
Tonight, between 5 and 8pm, alongside the regular offering of a warm space, food and soft drinks, the Red Cafe will also provide a welcoming and safe environment for attendees to interact with others and representatives from Talk About It Mate without judgement.

In addition to tonight’s warm hub the club and Manchester United Foundation continues to champion mental and emotional wellbeing through several initiatives such as the United Minds programme delivered across partner schools in Greater Manchester and further afield.
United Minds focuses on various areas to help our young people develop and reinforce positive habits relating to mental health. Lesson topics include self-reflection, managing emotions, and healthy coping strategies.
With younger age groups in the Academy, the club continues to undertake a range of activity to ensure mental fitness is talked about and developed in the same way physical fitness is with the next generation of stars.
