Listen back to Kick Off’s award-winning documentary into mental health in sport.
Last year talkSPORT’s Mark Saggers and Stan Collymore presented a special Kick Off programme, in association with Time to Change - England's biggest programme to challenge mental health stigma and discrimination.
The show won the top prize at the Sports Journalism Association Awards for Best Radio Sports Documentary, with Saggs and Stan there to pick up the gong, so here it is again if you missed it first time around.
Each year, one in four people will experience a mental health problem and you don’t need to be an expert to be there for someone you know. Sometimes, just doing the small things like chatting over a cuppa can make a big difference to someone experiencing mental health problems.
Need support?
If you are experiencing mental health problems or need urgent support, there are lots of places you can go to for help.
