Mental health and physical activity are interlinked and there is growing evidence highlighting the positive impact being active can have on mental wellbeing.
Being active releases chemicals in your brain that make you feel good – boosting your self-esteem and helping you concentrate as well as sleep well and feel better.
The following resources and campaigns are available across Kent and Medway to support, manage and help improve mental wellbeing.
