It's good to talk?

Over on The Two Unfortunates, we're marking Mental Health Awareness Week, which this year has the theme of "surviving or thriving?", with a series of posts connecting football and mental health. Yesterday, the site's co-founder Lloyd wrote about his experiences of fandom in relation to mental well-being. Today sees the publication of the first of my two pieces, this one looking at mental health within the professional game. The research and reading legwork and the writing both took a long time, and it's fair to say it's a lengthy read - but such an important subject deserved proper consideration.
