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.

"Whoever you are, come through the door."
Andy's Man Club is a peer to peer support group for men of all ages. AMC was started in 2016 by rugby league player Luke Ambler, after his brother Andy died by suicide.
We spoke to Andy Greenway, a young lad from Yorkshire, Leeds United mad, who first attended an AMC meeting in Halifax, in 2017. Nowadays, AMC welcomes over 1000 men a week into its clubs all over the UK, all with the express aim of convincing men, that it's ok to talk.
Andy is now a Project Development worker for AMC, and spoke to us about the amazing work they do, and the positive impact it's having for men.
