Community members,
Cal Cities is partnering with the Governor's Advisory Council on Physical Fitness and Mental Well-being with several opportunities for cities to participate in training and share best practices. I wanted to pass this along to see if you would be interested in this information.
In January 2023, the Advisory Council launched the campaign Move Your Body Calm Your Mind, providing encouragement on how Californians can thrive physically and mentally. Information about the campaign can be found at moveyourbodycalmyourmind.org. We encourage you to participate and help raise awareness on the Council's mission and goals.
Current Opportunities:
- Partner with the Advisory Council to Offer Youth Sport Coaches and Recreation staff trainings on how to coach for the whole child with a focus on social emotional support.
The Advisory Council is partnering with the Center for Health and Justice Through Sport (CHJS) to offer a series of these trainings throughout the state at no cost to participants. Depending on the size, the trainings will be roughly a half day and could include anywhere from 150-300 participants, ranging from local Parks and Rec staff and coaches, private youth sport league coaches and school sport coaches.
We are looking to recruit participants for these upcoming trainings through the end of this year and into 2024.
- Do you know a group of Coaches that would benefit from this training?
- Do you have a great venue ideal to host a training?
If interested, please contact: Jessica.Byers@cdph.ca.gov.
- Share Best Practices for physical activity, mindfulness and breathwork in your community, school, or organization. The Advisory Council is collecting resources, information and case studies/success stories on the most effective ways to incorporate movement, mindfulness and breathwork in schools and the community. We would love to hear your story!
For additional questions or additional information about getting involved, please email Jessica.Byers@cdph.ca.gov.
