Manchester United FC: launch of IGNORED, a mental health awareness campaign

"As part of Manchester United FC's (Premier League) commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, the club has launched IGNORED, a new campaign to raise awareness of the importance of talking about mental health," said the club on 18/02/2020.

The campaign, which includes a video clip (see below) featuring Manchester United players, asks "fans and viewers to think about the impact of language and consider how the use of words such as 'psycho' and 'mad' can alienate those experiencing mental health problems," added the club.

IGNORED is an extension of the "Heads Up" campaign, which aims to encourage discussion about mental health. The "Heads Up" campaign is the result of a partnership launched in August 2019 between The FA and "Heads Together", an initiative to promote the media coverage of mental issues, supported by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, his wife Kate Middleton, and his brother Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.
