Wolverhampton Wanderers is launching a new mental health training session for fans at Molineux on Friday 8 May 2026. The programme aims to provide supporters with practical skills to look after their emotional wellbeing and support fellow fans during a challenging time for the club following its recent relegation from the Premier League.
The session, which begins at 6pm, will be delivered by the Wolves Foundation, the club’s safeguarding team, and Samaritans. Attendees will receive training on how to challenge mental health stigma and have supportive conversations, helping to ensure the stadium remains a place where everyone feels valued. This event is part of the Premier League funded ‘Together Against Suicide’ campaign, an initiative launched in 2025 to encourage open discussions about mental health.
The club has previously taken steps to embed mental health support into its operations, including training over 400 matchday stewards in suicide prevention and appointing four dedicated wellbeing stewards. Furthermore, the Wolves Foundation has been running its Head 4 Health programme since 2019, which has provided support to nearly 2,000 adults.
Space for the upcoming training session at Molineux is limited, with the club offering places on a first-come, first-served basis. Supporters seeking immediate emotional support can contact Samaritans at any time by calling 116 123.
