Resource Directory

The Resource Directory is a database of ready-to-use resources to help you plan, implement, evaluate and sustain your program. The directory includes links to external resources created by government and non-profit organizations, new resources developed by the Minding Our Bodies team, and resources created by mental health agencies with physical activity programs that have joined the online community of practice. The purpose of the directory is to share ready-to-use templates, forms, questionnaires and guides to help leaders develop and maintain their own physical activity programs in community mental health organizations.

Use the category box below to filter and find the tools you need.
