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 58
Male victims of domestic abuse are almost three times less likely to tell anyone about it.
In May 2017, Paul Lavelle was murdered by his partner of 12 months, in his home in Rock Ferry, Wirral. Paul's death was the result of months of domestic abuse, largely kept secret from his friends and family.
Following his death, Paul Gladwell, along with a large group of Lavey's friends founded the Paul Lavelle Foundation, in order to help male victims of domestic abuse.
Today we talk to Paul Gladwell about his friend, the tragic circumstances surrounding his death, and some possible explanations for why Lavey like so many other men stay quiet about domestic abuse.
If you want to find out more about the foundation then head over their website:

If you are suffering from domestic abuse, you can call the national domestic abuse helpline on 0808 2000 047.
