​At the heart of the Philadelphia Union Foundation is our ongoing commitment to creating positive change in our community, especially in the realm of mental health. Each May, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we host an annual forum dedicated to fostering conversations and sharing insights on mental well-being. Through our HeadFirst initiative, we continue to emphasize the importance of mental fitness and advocate for greater mental health awareness.

​​

We invite you to join a meaningful and action-oriented conversation about mental fitness and the essential role coaches play in supporting mental well-being. This forum brings together coaches, mental health professionals, and community leaders to share insights, tools, and resources that foster resilience, healthy development, and overall performance in athletes.

​

The morning will include:

• Breakfast and networking beginning at 8:00 AM

• Panel discussions featuring medical professionals, coaches, and parents

• A focus on actionable strategies that support athletes both on and off the field

 

Panel Sessions Include:

• The Mind Game: Mental Wellness in Competitive Sports

• Coach the Mind: How Coaches Shape Mental Fitness

• Beyond the Pitch: Supporting the Whole Athlete

 

Join us again this year for an inspiring day focused on mental fitness within the athletic community. Designed for soccer coaches, athletic directors, trainers, club administrators, and parents, this event aims to not only raise awareness but also break the stigma surrounding mental health in sports—ensuring a strong support system for our athletes.
