The Women’s Health Project will provide two streams of specialist strength training and mental health support.
Helping women who have a mental health condition and are also:
• Menopausal, including peri- and post-menopause
• Postnatal, mum and baby session
- 24 women per year (12 menopause and 12 postnatal) will take part in small group strength training activities.
We will:
• Begin with a 3-week co-production phase, centring mental wellbeing at the heart of our work
• Develop an individualised training programme for each participant, including mental wellbeing techniques such as mindfulness
• Empower resilience and self-sufficiency through confidence building and physical activity education
