England Golf launched Fore Your Mind, working with Mind & Mental Health First Aid England to support better mental health in the golf community.
The programme will provide clubs and facilities with opportunities to support members with their mental health, courtesy of Mental Health First Aid England training and resources.
One in four people will experience a mental health problem each year. Fore Your Mind will support golfers by signposting to various providers of mental health support services, including Mind and the NHS, whilst giving golfers an insight into mental health, how they can look after their own, and how to spot the signs of poor mental health in their friends, family and colleagues.
This project also supports clubs, counties and facilities, with the aim of appointing at least one Mental Health First Aider among their staff and volunteers.
