Mental health is considered one of the most significant disease burdens on earth. A diagnosis of a mental condition is currently sitting at 1 in 5 individuals, with significantly higher numbers of individuals experiencing sub-clinical mental health symptoms.

The normal work of a fitness professional can profoundly influence individual mental health in a number of fundamental ways that can support the psychotherapeutic methodology of psychologists, counsellors, social workers and others in scope to work with mental health conditions.
