Description of pledge activities
The European Cultural and Sport Organisation will launch the European Alliance for Sport and Mental Health.
The goal is to create a permanent network among mental health and sports professionals, to promote the importance of sport for mental health at EU level.
In particular, the Alliance seeks to foster knowledge exchange and develop new sport-based integrated recovery models for the rehabilitation of people with mental disorders under a biopsychosocial framework.
The Alliance wishes to produce science-based and peer-reviewed rehabilitation programmes to share among sport professionals.
Expected measurable outcome
- Creation of a network among mental health and sport professionals
- Involvement in the network of professionals and entities related to the sports and mental health sectors from at least 10 European countries
