If it sounds like something you may be interested in then call out, everyone is welcome to join in.

 

The ‘Young Women’s Group’ will have sporting activities at its core over an 8 week period with emphasis on how sport benefits your mental health. Young people are more commonly affected by anxiety and depression, eating disorders, conduct disorder, substance use disorder, ADHD and autism. However, a new review shows that the benefits of sport for mental health include preventing problems from arising and promoting positive youth development to treat mental health problems once they exist. Sport improves your mood, reduces stress and depression and boosts self-confidence. If you want to get involved then call out, everyone is welcome.
