Unlock the potential of physical activity in mental health
In recent years, physical activity has emerged as a key component in promoting mental wellbeing. However, the challenge of incorporating tailored physical activity advice into mental health practices remains.
Our upcoming webinar seeks to address this gap by sharing valuable research findings from Dr Rhiannon White's extensive study on the impact of various physical activities in different environments on mental health outcomes.
Rhiannon, a Lecturer in Health and Physical Education at Western Sydney University, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this webinar. With a background in Health Science and a PhD focusing on the nexus between physical activity domains and mental health, Rhiannon’s expertise is invaluable to mental health practitioners seeking to leverage physical activity in their practice.
Engage in 90 minutes of prerequisite recorded webinar delivered by Rhiannon followed by a 60 minute live Q&A session with Rhiannon.
