Empower physical activity and wellbeing sessions to support young people’s mental health 9-12 yr olds.

5th April 2021

Empower is a 48-week project that aims to improve young people’s mental health through the use of physical activity. Each session is 90 minutes in length and consists of 60 minutes of physical activity, typically in the form of a sport session such as dodgeball, football, basketball, badminton or dance. Following the physical activity, there is a 30-minute wellbeing workshop, which is a facilitated conversation between participants, Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust Coaches and a NESSie psychotherapist. Each session is a mix of genders and the age range is 9-12 years old.

Each cohort lats 48 weeks and is spilt into three distinctive phases.

  • Phase one (Developmental) consists of 12 weekly sessions
  • Phase two (Maintenance) consists of 6 sessions occurring fortnightly
  • Phase three (Reflection) consists of 6 sessions occurring once a month

Each session is 90 minutes and consists of 60 minutes physical activity and a 30 minute wellbeing workshop and it's completely free!
