January 17 this year marks what has become known as 'Blue Monday', the third Monday in January commonly dubbed “the most depressing day of the year”.
At a time when people can be struggling, Blue Monday can be an opportunity to encourage each other to open up about mental health - and one campaign in Newcastle is doing just that.
The Be A Game Changer campaign was launched by the Newcastle United Foundation, the charity arm of NUFC, in 2019, to increase awareness in the city and challenge the stigma that can often surround discussing mental health.
