Move to improve your mental health
Mental health and physical health are closely connected. Research suggests that increased physical activity of any kind can improve depression, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms, improve sleep, and reduce stress. Engaging in regular physical activity has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing depression and other mental health conditions in children and adults. This training program will introduce participants to the benefits of movement on mental health. They will learn how movement impacts mental health and learn strategies for adding movement to their daily routine.
