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.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire: Mental Health and Hospitality
Kris Hall founded The Burnt Chef Project in 2019 with the sole aim of eradicating mental health stigmas within the hospitality industry. Having spent almost a decade working hospitality, Kris had seen first hand how common occurrences of mental ill health were. Combined with using his own experiences of depression, Kris has spent the last two years growing The Burnt Chef Project, and using the brand to promote better awareness of mental health within an industry he loves.
Today we talk to Kris about the difficult moments in his life, and hiw he has recovered from periods of depression that almost culminated in him losing his family. We ask him about The Burnt Chef Project, where it came from and what work they're now doing. We also take the opportunity to discuss the big C, whisper it, as today is the next stop on the road map. How has Covid impacted the work he's doing, and what is he most looking forward to once the lockdown measures are finally lifted for good.
Make sure to stick around until the end, as we see if Kris can better Alan Mahon's score of 3 on the mini quiz to take him to the top of the leaderboard.
