Physical activity for mental heath and autism

Please join us for a HMNS Seminar with two talks on  physical activity for mental health issues and autism and adolescent health. 

• Group-based exercise to improve sense of belonging and quality of life in people with mental health issues will be presented by Dr Justin Chapman who is a Research fellow at Griffith University and Metro Addictions and Mental Health Service. Dr Chapman will present the foundational work that has led to a successful grant from the MRFF.
• Does sport participation mediate the association between autism and adolescent health? by Dr Martin O’Flaherty.
