Harnessing the power of sport for wellbeing and community reintegration
Harnessing the power of sport for wellbeing and community reintegration
The IPP is motivated by the spirit of the Invictus Games, and while some of our participants will strive to compete at national and international events, for the majority it is to harness the power of exercise and sport to inspire recovery and well-being. The program aims to assist participants with their physical, mental and psychosocial wellbeing goals and includes activities that also welcome family members.
This global-first Invictus Pathways Program provides participants with access to a range of wellbeing activities in the community as well as allied health services, including:
"When you think there are no new ideas in the field of health, wellbeing and sports programmes for ill and injured military personnel, along comes something novel to blow this out of the water. The work at UniSA’s Invictus Pathways Program supported by MESHA, is truly world leading and including an occupational therapy capability is a great enhancement to this inter-disciplinary student-led program" - Martin Colclough OBE, Programme Advisory Board Member, Invictus: Endeavour Programme
"UniSA’s Invictus Pathways Program (IPP) is a great student-led initiative to deliver exercise based program to current/former serving ADF personnel and first responders. It focuses on mental as well as physical fitness to improve the well-being for the participants" - David Wiseman, Co Founder of Peak State Mental Fitness
“The UniSA Invictus Pathways Program aligns well with the goals of Invictus Australia, by providing wellbeing services and community connections through sport to not only veterans, but their family members and support networks as well. Invictus Australia is pleased to be working with UniSA to help deliver these experiences to veterans in South Australia.” – Michael Hartung, CEO, Invictus Australia.
