- Listen as Rio Ferdinand and Owen Farrell discuss the pressures
of representing England and how mental health awareness has changed over the generations.
Heads Up is a season-long campaign, harnessing the power and influence of football to change the conversation on mental health. Through the Heads Up #SoundOfSupport series, we will keep breaking the silence around mental health - showing that talking about how we feel and what we’re going through is more important than ever - and encouraging everyone everywhere to make their support heard by those who need it.

Forget the low view numbers on most videos, or low subscriptions. This project is great and has the chance to make a real change.
You have to start somewhere. I advised No 10's policy research team on mental health during Teresa May's tenure. It was about exactly this video's topic, stigma in the workplace over personal well-being (Don't like the phrase mental health - needs to be retired IMHO). It's so big in the UK we found out. We tried to make progress but May resigned and that program got dropped. Head's Together is pretty much the best thing happening right now for breaking into the mainstream consciousness.
Because to have strong men like Owen Farrell open up and for Rio to admit maybe he might have done better in a leadership role is a great step in the right direction. British society seems culturally programmed to avoid talking about fears, worries, anxiety and especially depression, because they would be bullied for it or doubted, maybe left out in some way (As Rio admits). This goes back 100s of years. Time for a change. Rock on. I'll drop more from my research I did a couple of years ago in other vids.
Teamwork, and pressure. Team as a source of pressure, teaming up together to work out and work off pressure. Good stuff.
I love this. Dont get me wrong i feel for him and i send him so much love and blessings. But this help us to know that we have to talk about our feelings. And make us happy and sad. And that sometimes you could be at your highess but feel so low.
Bit of beard envy from Owen?
