The Fit Mind Programme will identify, recruit and engage people in Birmingham that are suffering from mental health illness. The project will work in partnership with eighteen specialist mental health organisations, the Police and the Local Authority in order to identify people that are at risk of being influenced by extremist propaganda and who are vulnerable to developing extremist views. The project will use the power of sport to engage people into the project with a part time specialist project worker delivering both group and one to one interventions to reduce the likelihood of participants developing extremists views or positions. Through the project we would like to; - Provide four, twelve-week, personal development courses a year that will each cater for twelve people that are suffering from mental health illnesses. The courses will use non-contact boxing and gym work to engage participants with each session including group workshops designed to counteract extremist views and attitudes. - Organise and run a new weekly support group for people with mental health issues that bring together people from a wide range of ethnicities, cultures and religions. This will encourage understanding, tolerance and build stronger community links, promoting social inclusion. - Provide one to one support for people with mental health issues to discuss issues around extremism. - Provide personal safety workshops including topics such as internet safety, trust, understanding others and grooming. Project Aims; The project will; - Reduce the likelihood of project participants developing extremist views. - Improve the knowledge of project participants so they can recognise extremist views and online messaging. - Increase the safety of participants. - Improve mental health levels among participants. - Encourage a better understanding between different faiths and ethnicities. - Reduce the number of people holding attitudes, beliefs and feelings that oppose shared values.
