Hoods for Mental Health is our lifestyle programme focused on improving the lives of young people through sport and activity. The programme is aimed at local Primary School aged children and offers an interactive experience with our partners and professional players to educate young people on our four key areas:-
- Healthy Body – Explaining the benefits of physical exercise and healthy diet
- Healthy Mind – How to maintain a good Mental Health and the difference between Mental Health and Mental Illness
- Healthy Attitude – Promoting Inclusivity, Understanding and Acceptance
- Healthy Habits – How to build consistent habits that will create sustainable personal growth and impower success
The Programme offers a half day event where young people will engage in Basketball sessions and workshops based around the 4 key areas, 4 weeks of basketball training and a regionalised tournament. Participating schools will also be offered discount/free tickets to Hoods games.
