In this episode we will talk about the Sport Coach+ initiative implemented in a partnership between the MHPSS Hub and the Olympic Refuge Foundation (ORF). The initiative aims to create trauma informed and healing centered sports environments for young athletes between the ages of 10 and 24 with a focus on those with a background of displacement. The first phase of the initiative focused on youth affected by forced displacement within and out of Ukraine and it was implemented across ten European countries and so far a total of 1400 coaches and trainers have been trained. The initiative is implemented in cooperation with Red Cross National Societies and National Olympic Committees.     The podcast episode will feature three guests: Guleed Dualeh, MHPSS Specialist at the MHPSS Hub, Anna Kachmaryk, MHPSS Training Specialist with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, and Sabrina Hermosilla, Assistant Professor at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and member of the ORF Think Tank. They have been involved in the initiative in different roles and will share their experiences and perspectives on the initiative and the link between sport and mental health.  You can learn more about the Sport Coach+ initiative on: www.sportcoachplus.org.
