Excited to see this work available online!
Stride matches Uni students facing mental health challenges with mentors (studying exercise phys) to create a fun 12-week exercise program. Great results and great team 🥳 @MHEXUWA
Congrats Ivan for your 2nd PhD pub!
My 2nd thesis paper is published! 😃
We built on our review (doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1…) and implemented Stride: an exercise program to support UWA students with mental distress. See our results here: doi.org/10.1016/j.psychsport…

Oof @APA why you gotta do my boy #exercise like that
@ivan_jeftic just give depressed uni students st. john's worts instead, she'll be right
Yikes! The @APA released its clinical practice #guidelines for #depression. Frontline treatments are only drugs and psych. #Exercise was dumped under "Complementary & Alternative Treatments," alongside St. John’s Wort ("no comparative effectiveness data"). apa.org/depression-guideline

Couldn’t be happier with how the inaugural season of MAN v FAT in Australia went.
Looking forward to rolling out several more leagues with @uwa_sport in 2019!

A well deserved award, MANvFAT Soccer wouldn't be kicking off in Australia if not for the leadership of Dr. Ben Jackson! Congratulations on being named WA's Young Tall Poppy for 2018, Ben! @PAHL_Group_UWA @manvfatsoccerau @uwanews @UWAresearch

We’ve come a long way over the last year! Seems like only yesterday we were in the UK, learning about the men’s experiences in the program (over a real British ale or two). Super excited that we’ve come this far :)

Incredible, over 100 men registered for MVF Soccer UWA! Crazy to get 40 in the last week, can’t wait to meet the men who’ll be kicking weight loss goals on Wed 5th! Huge thanks to @uwa_sport for smashing recruitment!
