We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Episode 27
Making the intangible, tangible, the therapy of articulating your thoughts.
In today's episode, we discuss Kelly's struggles with depression and anxiety, how she used self harm as a release, and her decision to write about her mental health.
We also ask Kelly about her love of football, and how it should be more appreciated as a mental health resource.
Known as the always excellent Kelly Welles, in this interview, she's all that and more!
Due to Dan's current isolation period, we're back on Google hangout for this week, but back nonetheless!
