The support of a coach, team mates and others can play an important role in supporting someone who has mental health problems. Time to Change aims to promote awareness and improve the perception of dealing with mental health illnesses. There is a wealth of information and a number of useful resources including the In Your Corner campaign, which specifically encourages men and young people to be more open and supportive of those fighting a mental health problem. While people may have the best intentions, coaches and others should not give counselling and support which they are not qualified to offer. It is important that the support is appropriate and crucial that professional help is sought if needed. Individuals should be directed to seek advice from their GP if they are struggling, and families can approach their children’s schools if they are concerned about their child
