âYou, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life.â
Iâm sure we can all relate to these famous words from Rocky - life doesnât spare any of us from its punches. And when life has our back against the ropes and weâre struggling to keep going, it can be hard to see how we can get back in the fight.
External pressures, negative self-talk, lack of support from anybody that understands - all of these can accumulate and our mental health suffers. We don't feel like ourselves anymore, and we wonder whether things will ever feel better.Â
When life is getting on top of us, one of the most important things we need is hope.Â
During times of real struggle, hope can feel hard to find. I want you to know that there are always reasons for hope, and there are always better days ahead. Sometimes we just need some support to help us to see that.
It's hard to admit that we need help. IÂ know because I've been there. But there's no shame in it; even heavyweight champions need people in their corner.
I don't want you or anybody to feel that you have to fight alone, and I hope that you will join us on our webinar.

I'm Matthew, creator of Knock Out Depression, boxing-themed mental health education and support. We use boxing as a powerful, relatable metaphor for mental health and for struggle. We help you understand mental health in a uniquely different way, supporting you to find the right combination of methods to use in your personal fight, so that you can come back punching and feel like you again.Â
âI've been there, I get it.â
I have a lot to be grateful for, I'm a dad of two great kids, I love what I do, and I've met many great people and had countless wonderful experiences in my life.
I've been lucky enough to have spent 11 years working for the governing body of boxing, a sport that's been my passion for nearly 40 years.Â
I've also been through divorce, close personal bereavement, and losing a job. I've had 3 horrible battles with depression; a brutal, awful illness. My struggles have taught me so much, about mental health, about myself, and about life.
I know how hard it can be to find accessible support from someone who gets it. We're taught very little about how to look after our mental health; many of us were taught that the way to deal with life's struggles is to just get on with it. But what about when that just doesn't feel like an option anymore?
We deserve better, and that's why I created Knock Out Depression. Looking after our mental health is so important and we're here to be your cornerman, to help you to better understand and manage your mental health.
When life has your back against the ropes, we help you to come back punching and feel like you again.Â
