Digital Wellness: Screen Time, Doomscrolling & Tech Fatigue
In today’s always‑connected world, technology has become woven into almost every aspect of our lives. Smartphones, tablets and laptops help us stay in touch with friends and family, access information within seconds, and work or study from virtually anywhere. For many of us, these devices feel like lifelines.
Behind the Why: The Story That Sparked the Melp Foundation
Mental health has long been overlooked in schools and grassroots sport. While the need is undeniable, the resources are often stretched to breaking point. At the Melp Foundation, we exist to change that. Our mission is simple but urgent: to support young people and women in sport by making mental health support accessible, affordable, and stigma-free—no matter your background, postcode or budget.
The Mental Health Challenges Girls Face in Sports
Sports are often celebrated, not just as a form of entertainment. But as a tool for empowerment, discipline and resilience. But for many girls, the path from secondary school athletics to adult women’s sports is riddled with difficult mental health hurdles. While a lot of attention is paid to skill, injury and prevention, the mental health challenges that accompany those experiences are often overlooked.
