CPSU Webinar: Loneliness and mental health in sport

😔Loneliness can affect anyone and everyone. In this webinar we look at the connection between loneliness and mental health in sport, particularly in a high-performance setting.

💬Join Di Murray, Training and Development consultant at the NSPCC CPSU, to hear about loneliness within sport, and how this can be both a sign and symptom of mental ill health.

🏅Di discusses how the additional pressures of competing at an elite and high-performance level can leave young people feeling particularly lonely. She offers some quick activities that you can do with children and young people in your sports organisation to help you to tackle loneliness.

During this webinar, we take a look at:
• the definition of mental health
• what loneliness is
• who can be affected
• what can safeguarders do?
• how to connect with young athletes
