How can PE play a vital role in supporting students' mental health and resilience?
In this podcast episode, we explore how trauma-informed approaches can transform physical education into a powerful tool for identifying and supporting young people facing adversity.
Our founder, Neil Moggan, joined Martin Brockman—2010 Commonwealth Games Decathlon Bronze Medallist and Director of Performance Pathways—to discuss how PE can be a frontline tool in the mental health crisis and how educators can take practical steps to create psychologically safe spaces for students.
