SEPSIG14: How to influence research and promote fitness interventions for mental health

Event Information

The title of SEPSIG's upcoming conference (SEPSIG14) will be: How to influence research and promote fitness interventions for mental health

The conference will be held at the Institute of Sport Exercise & Health in London on Friday 31 March 2023.

Symposium 1

The morning session will explore the evidence base for using different forms of physical activity to enhance cognition and manage severe mental illness. We will hear from leading researchers and clinicians in this exciting space. The session will include a practical breathwork session and will hopefully leave delegates with lots of take-a-way ideas to safely embed within their own areas of work!

Symposium 2

The afternoon session will provide leading insights into how to get involved with the growing area of Sport & Exercise Psychiatry research. This will include an interactive, group work through a workshop.
