#ICYMI 👀: For #InternationalStressWeek, explore Head In The Game US' resources to help teens more effectively manage their stress 👉🏽 https://bit.ly/40ppLzL This year's theme is ‘Campaigning to Reduce Stress and Improve Wellbeing.’ Stress is normal and everyone experiences it, from dangerous situations to day-to-day activities. Stress in itself is not an illness, but when it becomes overwhelming and prolonged, the risk for mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance abuse increases. A recent report showed that 62% of people across 31 countries said they felt stressed to the point of it impacting their daily lives at least once in the past year. Head In The Game is a Beyond Sport program powered by the Z Zurich Foundation, to improve mental wellbeing outcomes for teens in the U.S. and help close the gap on inequities. #NetworkInAction

Huge thank you to Under Armour for the opportunity to speak at their EMEA Retail Leadership Conference in Amsterdam last month! As part of our #SportForSocialChange partnership with UA, we explored the powerful impact of volunteerism and social impact programs on youth and their communities. Thrilled to have Founder and Chief Executive, Matthew Houghton, of our UK program grantee HYPE Merseyside, our Director of Programs, Adam Burgess, and Brand House Liverpool Store Manager, Colin March, speak about the retail donation campaign to leaders and representatives from stores across Europe. Through register donations, the ‘Transforming Young Lives Through Sport’ program helps supports community sport non-profits across the UK and Europe that are inspiring and teaching valuable life skills to young people. We greatly appreciate Under Armour’s commitment to creating more access and opportunities through sport, and our local charity grantees for all that they are doing to use sport and physical activity to do something greater for youth - positively impacting their health, personal growth and future success! 🙏🏾 Learn more 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/dfhRhMki
