Tackling Big Issues with our Digital Communities
March 20, 2020
Beyond Sport is proud to bring together leading organizations for innovative cross-sector collaborations. Our two issue-focused communities, the Stay in the Game Network and the Sport and STEM Alliance, have launched for 2020. And in these current times, they couldn't be more relevant.
Learn more about how we’re building communities to innovate solutions to address STEM Education and mental health and well-being below and please consider joining to help us continue building strong and diverse memberships to have the greatest impact possible.
Exploring Sport's Role in Promoting Mental Wellness
While we are in this unprecedented time of global instability and social distancing, protecting our mental health is even more important. What are the most effective ways to cope, how can we also help the people closest to us and how can we strengthen the well-being of our communities overall?
The Stay in the Game Network was formed last year to use sport as a platform, catalyst and channel for industries to work together to change the national narrative on mental health to one of hope, prevention and healing. It is a collective of like-minded organizations in the US joined across sectors including sport, healthcare, social change and more, that are committed to collaborating on progressive solutions for an issue affecting 40 million Americans.
INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR
Join us Monday, March 30 at 1pm EDT to learn more about Network plans for the year ahead and the benefits that come with membership. You’ll have the chance to hear from industry experts, to connect with other organizations working to break stigmas surrounding mental health and to ask questions.
The network is supported by Founding Members: Beyond Sport, National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance), Centerstone, Citrone 33 Foundation and USA Cycling, and Founding Supporters, MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL, NHL and WNBA. We hope you will join us to contribute your expertise and ideas towards making conversations and actions on mental health in the US open and productive.
