SDG #3 IN ACTION
MENTAL HEALTH IS AT
THE CENTER COURT
AT PEACEPLAYERS
NORTHERN IRELAND
At PeacePlayers Northern
Ireland, mental health
is a central focus of the
Leadership Development
Program. Stress management
is a crucial component,
as participants are taught
effective strategies to cope
with the pressures they may
face in their personal and
academic lives. Emphasizing
mental health education
ensures that participants are
equipped to recognise signs
of mental health challenges,
both in themselves and their
peers, fostering a culture
of empathy and support
within the programme and
their teams. The integration
of stress management,
mindfulness, and mental
health sessions aligns with
the belief that a healthy
mind is essential for effective
leadership on and off the
court.
