Move Your Mood (MYM) is a research-based program developed by the Recovery Alberta Prevention and Promotion Mental Health and Addiction team. The program promotes physical activity and healthy lifestyle practices to improve the mental and physical well-being of participants.

​

Move Your Mood Vision: Inspire people to be active and healthy for life. 

Move Your Mood Mission: Supporting individuals, families, schools and community to improve their mental and physical well-being through healthy lifestyle practices. 

 

Move Your Mood aims to teach children, youth, adults and older adults positive coping strategies that they can apply to their daily life to enhance their mental and physical well-being, build resilience, promote healthy decision making and positive relationships. The MYM program does this by providing opportunities for participants to experience how to move their bodies, fuel their bodies, practice mindfulness, and build positive coping strategies. The goal of the program is for participants to have fun, gain confidence and competence to be active and healthy for life.
