Yet it is still something people are worried to talk about or ask for help. This must change and physical activity can play a massive part.<\/p>\n<p>We know that being physically active can help mental wellbeing. That\u2019s why the <strong>Sport and Recreation Alliance<\/strong>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ppf.org.uk\/\"><strong>Professional Players Federation<\/strong><\/a> and the mental health charity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mind.org.uk\/\"><strong>Mind<\/strong><\/a> created the Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation.<\/p>\n<p>Our vision is that the Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation has played an instrumental role in embedding mental health within the sport and recreation sector and helped create a culture shift in wider society that removes the stigma around mental health.<\/p>\n<p>By signing up to the Charter, we are committing to helping make this vision a reality. Together we will achieve this by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using the power of sport and recreation to promote wellbeing, with a special focus on encouraging physical activity and social interaction for their contribution to good mental health.<\/li>\n<li>Publicly promoting and adopting good mental health policies and best practice within our sports and recreational activities.<\/li>\n<li>Promoting positive public health messages using diverse role models and ambassadors to reduce the stigma attached to mental health problems.<\/li>\n<li>Actively tackling discrimination on the grounds of mental health to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.<\/li>\n<li>Supporting the establishment of a network to work closely with the mental health sector to develop resources and best practice.<\/li>\n<li>Regularly monitoring our performance, assess progress and take positive action on mental health issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For further information on, or to join the\u00a0Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation please go to: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportandrecreation.org.uk\/\">https:\/\/www.sportandrecreation.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation Committee <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chairman:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Michael Graham MBChB; JCPTGP; PhD; FRSM; MPhysoc; BASEM; MICR; MCSFS; PCCMH; APIL Expert; FSB<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Deputy Chief Medical Officer<\/p>\n<p><strong>Committee Members:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Julian S Baker Ph.D, D.Sc, FPhysiol, FHBA, FRSB, FICR, C.Biol, C.Sci<\/strong> \u2013 Sports Psychologist &amp; BIBA Medical Advisory Board Committee Member<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. John Pates PhD; <span class=\"background-details\">Mphil<\/span>; BA (Jt Hons), <span class=\"background-details\">PGCE, PDip.<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Sports Psychologist &amp; BIBA Medical Advisory Board Committee Member<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gianluca Di Caro<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Vice President<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave Smith<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Secretary General<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mehmet Pasha<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA-TRNC Vice President<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave Murphy<\/strong> \u2013 World Boxing Foundation<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee McAllister<\/strong> \u2013 Assassin Health &amp; Fitness Village &amp; BIBA Pro Boxer\/Promoter\/Manager\/Coach<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marianne Marston<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Director of Female Boxing &amp; BIBA Pro Boxer\/Coach<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Poole<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Manager &amp; Coach<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leah Jean Horrigan<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Affiliated Nutritionist<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Hurley<\/strong> \u2013 Journalist With Personal Knowledge of Mental Health Matters<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kane Corvus<\/strong> \u2013 BIBA Licensed Boxer &amp; Former Mental Health Nurse<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie Zammit<\/strong> \u2013 Rebellious Boxing Australia &amp; Knock Out Poverty Alliance (KOPA) Member<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2018 the British &amp; Irish Boxing Authority signed up to the Mental Health Charter for Sport and Recreation.
