Physical activity is among the strongest predictors of health for people with mental illnesses.
An information event for clinicians, carers and service users on the topic of ‘best practice in physical activity implementation in mental health care’ will take place in Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) on Monday, July 16.
Physical activity is among the strongest predictors of health for people with mental illnesses, but often under-utilised as a therapeutic resource in mental health care.
Monday’s event will feature talks from international experts in the field, and health services management tasked with implementing physical activity strategy.
Really excited to be speaking at this event alongside @evmatthewsWIT who has led some fantastic implementation-focused projects in the field. Looking forward to seeing you soon! https://t.co/cEFKuNaSlb
