How has surfing improved your life?
Hello everybody,
I’m looking for anybody who has a story about how surfing has helped improve their lives.
Specifically, I’d like to hear from anyone who has personal experience of mental health problems, and how surfing has benefited
their mental health. Maybe it has helped you deal with depression or anxiety, gain in confidence, or rebuild a social life?
I work for the mental health charity Mind, which is involved in England’s first national anti-stigma and discrimination campaign
called Time to Change. Research has shown that discrimination is best reduced through social contact and Time to Change’s Get
Moving project aims to organise mass participation events throughout the country where people with and without experience of mental
distress can take part together.
Get Moving events are based around a physical activity as much research has pointed to the benefits exercise has on our mental as well
as physical health, some research even suggests it can be as effective as medication. So, we’d like to hear from anyone who would
be willing to share their story with Get Moving and help us raise the profile of our campaign.
Please email me at p.hardy@mind.org.uk if you would like to know more about Time to Change, Get Moving or how we’d like you to be
involved. Thanks a lot!
