Fighting Stigma & Promoting Mental Health Through Sports

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often overlooked—especially in migrant and refugee communities.

At Dream Big for Inclusion, we recognize that many young people face challenges such as displacement, cultural adjustment, and social exclusion. These struggles can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. Through our sports programs, we create a safe space where individuals can express themselves, build resilience, and find support.

How Sports Help Mental Well-Being

Physical activity releases endorphins – Regular exercise naturally reduces stress and boosts mood.
Team sports foster connections – Playing in a group builds friendships and a sense of belonging.
Encouraging open conversations – We organize workshops and discussions to break the stigma around mental health.

Beyond the Field: Our Commitment to Awareness

In addition to sports activities, Dream Big hosts focus group discussions and educational sessions to provide young people with knowledge and resources on mental health. We partner with professionals and community leaders to offer guidance, ensuring that no one feels alone in their struggles.

Mental health matters, and everyone deserves support. Whether you’re an athlete, a volunteer, or a supporter, your involvement can help create a healthier and more inclusive community.
