How has football helped your mental health?
We asked the players at @Kick_Start_FCthe question how playing for the club has helped them ahead of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Is a strength not weakness. It’s time to talk to someone or anyone, there’s no shame in admitting your struggling. It’s time to help one another more then ever otherwise more men will go down this route. The solution I don’t no, but let’s start the conversation

Genuinely an amazing guy, son, father of 3 beautiful girls, a professional footballer. Still felt that he has no where to go other then to take his own life. Mental health does not discriminate against anybody. We need to start talking especially as men, vulnerability ..
The Lee Collins news today is absolutely tragic. Our thoughts, and condolences go out to all of Lee's family and friends.
