Finish Line in Mental Health Disorder Stigma in Sports

Project Number: 101050668

The specific project aspires to create a transnational semi-Marathon in each participating country that will raise public awareness regarding the stigmatization of people with mental health disorders in sports.Simultaneously, each participating organization will be responsible for holding a series of workshops, speeches, and activities to further promote the inclusion of the target group in sports. The semi-Marathons combined with the parallel workshops will provide a holistic image to the project regarding the exclusion that people with mental health disorders face when trying to participate in sports, thus leading to a deeper public understanding for this subject. The long-term goal of the project is to perpetuate the semi-Marathon and the other events in an annual basis, thus continuing to promote the participation of people with mental health disorders in sports.
