Earlier this year, the Olympic Refuge Foundation set out to locate high quality tools and good practices in sport and MHPSS, aiming to make these more accessible to program designers, coaches, counselors, monitoring and evaluation specialists and community members. As they thought, there is an abundance of innovative sports and physical programs to address factors impacting mental health and well-being, yet good practices in this field are not often documented or actively promoted.
Join the Olympic Refuge Foundation and MHPSS.net for the launch of a database of good practices from over 130 tools and resources, with a panel of experts from the fields of sport, youth development and MHPSS.
Panelists will help expand our understanding of how sport and physical activity can provide powerful opportunities to improve mental health and psychosocial well-being for millions of young people experiencing forced displacement due to climate, war, economic migration or other security challenges.
An open Q & A will follow the panel.
