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.

Addressing the mental health epidemic, and finding better male role models.
Louis Weinstock is a child psychotherapist, and the founder of an app called 'apart of me', designed to help youngsters cope with grief. Steven Chatterton is a filmmaker who recently wrote and directed a film called Adnan, centred around a Syrian refugee who's Mother is suffering from PTSD.
We have an engaging and informative conversation about mental health in young people, mentoring, social media, male communication, and so much more. Louis and Steven both tell us personal stories about a time when suicide has become a part of their life, and how they reacted to those events.
