Moving The Goalposts is happy to announce new collaboration with On Running in 2025. This collaboration will address the increasing number of young people especially girls and young women presenting with mental health issues. On Runnning campaign, Right to Run will be intergrated in MTG program and form a unique approach to enhancing adolescent girls and young women's mental health.
The Project “Running for Mental Miles” will be centered around our trauma healing model which unites a variety of healing modalities that transforms personal and community power. Towards strengthening adolescent girls' and young women resilience and mental well-being running will be included as an activity in all 52 communities for 5,000 girls (7-25 years) alongside ongoing football leagues. This will open up our safe spaces to include diverse groups of women who will participate in both football and running sessions and will catalyze the integration of mental health and well-being in our annual football league program. Mental Miles coaches will create running as a ritual in their community inspire safety and predictability – a necessary element in healing trauma. During the run coaches will inspire participants to explore mindfulness- The ability to observe, notice, without judging their own reactions, body sensations, and internal physical, mental, and emotional states. This will be achieved through simple breathing or meditation practices. This model will be tested with a goal to scale and is aimed at reaching to over 1M rural women by 2030.
