Mental Wellbeing
Mental wellbeing has increasingly become a significant topic to address among girls, women, and non-binary people through sport, play, and movement. Mental wellbeing in this context refers to a state in which an individual realizes their own abilities to cope with the daily stressors of life. It includes our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing.
Explore the topic
Mental wellbeing is vital to our individual and collective ability to think, interact with one another, create livelihoods and thrive. Across the world, mental health issues are becoming more prevalent among adolescent girls and nonbinary youth, with depression being the leading cause of illness among adolescents globally.
The prevalence of these issues has driven the development of tools and resources that support groups and individuals working with adolescent girls and nonbinary youth to address mental health wellbeing within different contexts and communities.
