Heads Up is an initiative run by mental health charity Heads Together and the FA Cup.
The Duke asked Arsenal skipper Aubameyang whether he had encountered players or staff who had struggled with their mental health.
He replied: “I was playing with some players that had some difficulties with their mental health.
“The most important [thing] is to be next to them and try to speak a lot with them.”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta added: "You have to create a safe environment for them to be able to talk to you directly without feeling judged."
