Clarke Carlisle Launches Mental Health Charity
The former York City player wants to raise awareness of Dual Diagnosis.
Former York City player and premier league footballer Clarke Carlisle is setting up a mental health awareness charity.
It's to highlight Dual Diagnosis - a term that's usually used to describe someone with mental health problems, and drug or alcohol issues.
The news of the charity comes just months after the 35-year-old's suicide attempt - when he stepped in front of a lorry on the A64 near York.
Now, Clarke's wife Gemma has announced the news on Twitter, saying The Clarke Carlisle Foundation for Dual diagnosis will aim to "raise awareness".
