We Win By Talking
Whether on the pitch, or in life, tough times can leave us lost for words. After a setback, more than half of us have struggled to talk to others. But talking to others is one of the best things we can do for our mental wellbeing. This World Cup, our campaign reminds the nation that game day, or any day, we win by talking.
Advice on opening up
Our charity partners share practical advice to help you find the right words, choose the safest environment and prepare for those difficult conversations.
