The Mental Health Action Plan summarises existing research, reviewed for translatability by mental and public health professionals, to provide an evidence-informed framework with real world utility.
The action plan was developed through a collaboration within the IOC Medical and Scientific Department with input from the IOC Mental Health Working Group, World Health Organization's Mental Health World Group, and the Athlete's Entourage Commission.
The Mental Health Action Plan sets out clear actions to promote mental health and well-being for all sports stakeholders, to prevent mental health symptoms arising for those at risk and to educate the Olympic community at all levels on mental health issues.
The action plan also covers the IOC's spheres of responsibility, as per the graph below.
