Manchester United Women’s inspirational goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce was asked by our Foundation to give three personal tips on World Mental Health Day.
Her answers are a fantastic reminder that everyone, even those achieving incredible things in their careers, has times when they feel low and turn to tried-and-tested methods to get themselves out of that low moment.
Here are Phallon’s top three tips to support your mental health and well-being…
ONE: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
“I know we all want to work hard and we take pride in being [hard-working] Manchester bees, but sometimes bees need a rest too! If you see them in the morning, their wings won’t work right away, they’re taking a nap on some flowers!”
TWO: TAKE SOME TIME OUTSIDE
“Again with the bees, take some time outside. I think often when I’m having a tough day, I’ll just get myself up and put my shoes on, take a walk by the canal or something like that.”

On World Mental Health day – 10 October – we invite you to watch these powerful moments from our UTD Podcast series…
THREE: LEAN ON YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM
“Anybody that you have in your life that maybe could be a support system, don’t be afraid to lean on. I know my mom, my partner, those are the people for me, and even my friends along the way, have really helped support me in upholding a pretty stressful position.”
Phallon’s final message in her video on World Mental Health Day was this:
“Anybody out there [watching], you’re doing amazing already as it is!”
