'Depression Ruled My Life But Everton Helped Me See A Future'

Everton in the Community’s award-winning mental health programmes have provided life-changing and life-saving support to people across Merseyside since 2007. The Club and its official charity want to increase access to care through The People’s Place, a proposed open-door facility on the Goodison Campus which will deliver a range of mental health programmes and enable signposting to other services.

In the lead-up to World Mental Health Day on Wednesday 10 October, evertonfc.com will be publishing a series of videos and articles to improve awareness of the issue and illustrate the unconditional support available from Everton in the Community to anybody suffering with mental health.

One of over 5,000 people to have been supported by Everton in the Community’s mental health programmes over the past 11 years, Christine initially reached out to the charity after making two attempts to end her own life.
