A few months ago, FIFA Foundation launched YourSide — a program aimed at providing support and guidance to those affected by abuse in soccer. With a goal of helping strengthen soccer’s global response to violence and abuse, YourSide connects individuals with the correct resources, and acts as both a safety net and complement to existing institutional mechanisms, giving those affected an additional impartial pathway to be heard and supported by trauma-informed experts – thereby helping to reduce the risks associated with under-reporting. This is an amazing step towards helping athletes who have experienced trauma as a result of their sport, and we can’t wait to see how it grows. #mentalhealth #athletementalhealth #resources
