Building Resilient Futures: Unlocking the Power of Sport and Physical Activity for Youth Mental Health in the Commonwealth makes an evidence-based case for sport, physical activity, and physical education as strategic pillars of youth mental health policy in action.

The event responds to a youth mental health crisis and the fact that many adolescents do not meet recommended physical-activity guidelines. It will invite participants to provide direct input to World Health Assembly discussions and advance a shared commitment that no Member State can achieve alone.

Sir Mo Farah
