A new Sport Wellbeing Hub has been set up to help support people during the Covid-19 lockdown.
Sport NI has launched the major initiative to assist individuals and teams who are not able to engage in sport because of the coronavirus crisis.
The new Sport Wellbeing Hub has been developed alongside mental health charity Inspire and in partnership with the Public Health Agency (PHA).
It also has backing from some high-profile stars including former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams, Ballymena United football manager David Jeffrey and Olympic boxing hero Paddy Barnes.
The Hub will provide instant access to helpful information, guidance and screening that is tailored specifically to help care for our wellbeing needs.
Sport NI CEO Antoinette McKeown said: “We developed The Sport Wellbeing Hub with Inspire; to help you create your own wellbeing care-plan, as well as giving guidance on support through a guided self-assessment.
"It helps to provide the right help, right now, with online access to a range of fantastic and useful resources that are tailored to the user, which is so important at this challenging time.
"The Sport Wellbeing Hub is a valuable online resource that we encourage you to use. It is for everyone across the sporting community, those who are involved in sport, at all levels and all abilities."
The Sport Wellbeing Hub provides a range of innovative tools and resources including:
- Guided self-assessment via ‘Chatbot’;
- Self-help programmes and digital intervention tools;
- Searchable ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ map; and
- Wellbeing information library.
-
