Imagine Your Goals- Everton in the Community
12 June, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 16 June, 2023 @ 5:00 pm BST
Launched in 2007 in partnership with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, Everton in the Community’s mental health football programme ‘Imagine Your Goals’ (IYG) uses football as a therapeutic tool to support individual’s physical, mental, emotional and social health and wellbeing.
The programme integrates football coaching with football themed education workshops to help participants improve their emotional resiliency and boost self-confidence. The programme has a thriving peer support network embedded within its design to help participants create tangible social support networks that combat loneliness and social isolation to aid their on-going recovery.
The success of Imagine Your Goals has seen the charity establish Merseyside’s first-ever mental health football league as well as organising the National Mental Health Football Championships in October each year to coincide with World Mental Health Day.
The programme has been widely recognised for its ground-breaking approaches, picking up a number of prestigious awards.
