Chris Kirkland hopes to help people suffering with mental health issues open up with the launch of YAPA, a brand new app which is available to download now.
Kirkland’s experiences of talking about his issues with mental health are a clear example of just how important taking that first step towards help is.
“It felt like a massive weight off my shoulders, I could see clearly for the first time. It’s not an over-exaggeration to say it was life-changing for me and helped me get to where I am today,” says the former Liverpool goalkeeper.
Now, over a year on from bravely revealing the struggles he faced with anxiety and depression, Kirkland has helped launch an app which aims to help others do the same.
