Young people, sports and wellbeing
Olympic Generation
Nurturing young people's skills in humanities, arts, music, sports, health and citizenship.
There is empirical evidence from many sporting and academic organisations which demonstrates the important link between physical activity, mental health and wellbeing.
Careif is working in partnership with Visit London, the official organisation for London tourism. We are organising a series of events about physical and mental wellbeing. This will culminate in an international conference in 2012 shortly before the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We have also agreed to produce this final event in partnership with the World Association of Cultural Psychiatry (WACP).
One of our priority is young people. Referred to as the ‘Olympic Generation’, we are building on the theme of young people’s interests, intincts, spontaneity and wellbeing. We will seek to harness and nurture young people’s skills in humanities, arts, music, sports, health, education and citizenship.
Forthcoming Events with the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM).
Young People: Wellbeing, Recovery and Resilience; Tuesday 8th January 2008. at the RSM.
Young People: Resilience and Care Experiences at the Margins; Tuesday 11th March 2008. at the RSM
