Breaking the silence behind mental health & helping to prevent the biggest killer of men: suicide. Saving one life at a time by speaking up and listening.
Thinking of you Dele. And also all struggling with their mental health in any capacity, no matter how big or small this may seem. Hoping this powerful interview inspires you to seek the help you need.
I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on @wearetheoverlap here https://t.co/60d4IZwQmR
Thank you to The Carlton Infant Academy for allowing us to do a men's session this morning with fellow fathers and staff. This was a great session and we hope to do more in the future.
Good morning! Happy bank holiday! The weather is absolutely beautiful here, fresh warm(ish) air is important. This is your sign to go for a walk and take some deep breaths 💪🏻 whatever you’re doing today, do it well ❤️

For any of our newer followers, who are we?
Briefly: We’re a small team who’s aim is to raise awareness and support mens mental health. We facilitate a men’s group at middle street resource centre and provide free weekly football session for up to 12 men to support well being.
“The sessions have been a positive thing for my mental and physical wellbeing, suffering with bi- polar, they have enabled me to play football in a safe and friendly environment. I have at times gained some much needed confidence and fitness, it's allowed me to break away…
Here’s some feedback:
“The free football sessions have helped me with my mental health as I have managed to speak to a few people and get to know people and doesn't matter on fitness levels it's for fun.”
We’re looking to grow our audience. There are thousands who will need our help but may not know about us. If you can give us a retweet. It may save a life.
Well done @BenChilwell speaking about your mental health is often the hardest part. If you’re struggling, someone will always listen. Including us, our DM’s are always open and message will always remain confidential.
Be kind to yourself today, be okay with these feelings and if you need to talk it through there are so many who will listen. Dedicated to a mum who has been gone for 5 mothers days, it's okay to not be okay.
A sentiment to those who are struggling with Mother's day. It's okay to feel sad today, okay to miss those we have lost and mourn the absence of a loved one. Not every mothers day is a happy one and we get that.
Yesterday saw the launch of our brand new kit, celebrating our new partnership with Beeston Round Table. We look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership 🤝⚽️
We believe football should be accessible for everyone ⚽
