Mental Health in Sport Workshops

As we look to move forward with Sport England's 'Towards an Active Nation' strategy, one of the key highlights for us is continuing to increase awareness of the benefits that sport and physical activity has on young people's mental health.

We have been utilising Satellite Clubs funding to produce a workshop dedicated to supporting Mental Health in Sport. So far we have delivered two fully booked workshops, attracting 40 sport and physical activity deliverers across Dorset. The workshop looked to increase knowledge of young people's mental health and how participation in sport and physical activity can enhance peer-to-peer support.

Feedback so far has been very positive with individuals finding the course very insightful. Keep an eye out on our Courses & Workshops page for the next available opportunity.

We'd like to say a special thank you to our programme coordinator for delivering the course, and AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust for providing the venue and free stadium tour to all delegates!
