Suggested Homework & Tasks

Before you start developing activities to unlock mental health and wellbeing, we suggest that you:

🔹 REFLECT on the last time you experienced a situation where a negative mood rubbed off on others – and the opposite, when did you experience a positive behaviour that was contagious to your surroundings?

🔹 THINK about a sport and/or physical activity that helps you when you experience mental challenges. Could the same activity also help your colleagues, friends, club members?

🔹 THINK about how your organisation is tackling the mental health issue and how physical activity is used. Do you miss anything? Can you do more?

Let’s remember it is the small, simple things that can make a huge difference in our daily lives.
