RSPH Health & Wellbeing Awards - Public Mental Health & Wellbeing Finalist

Movember 

 

Movember’s Ahead of The Game (AoTG) is a series of mental fitness workshops which have been proven to increase mental health literacy and boost resilience in young athletes. The evidence-based programme is aimed at adolescent boys aged between 12-18 and is being delivered through community sports clubs (rugby league, rugby union and football) in the UK. During the two-hour workshops, athletes learn how to identify signs of anxiety, depression and low mood in themselves and others. In separate workshops, their parents and sports coaches learn how to distinguish between potential mental health problems and normal teenage behaviour.

We need to equip young men of that age to be able to deal with life’s challenges and team sport is a really engaging way to delivering those messages.

Through our partnerships with sporting bodies and other organisations, we have been able to deliver our programme to thousands of young people across world and there is evidence that it is having a positive impact on communities.

Being a finalist in the Royal Society for Public Health’s Health & Wellbeing Awards 2022 award formally recognises Movember’s Ahead of The Game for its contribution to improving and protecting the public’s health.
