Virtual Sport Psych

Together!
That's how safety is created and violence is pushed away.

Together we had our VSP+ Monthly Workshop exploring those key topics:
- Ethical and practical responses when athletes disclose violence or harm
- Principles of prevention and trauma-informed safeguarding

and much more, check the link in the stories! 🔗

Through case discussions, shared experiences, and guided reflection, participants will leave with greater awareness, practical strategies, and a renewed sense of responsibility to foster safety, dignity, and trust in their sport environments.

This workshop is designed for sport psychology professionals working at all levels, from youth sport to high-performance.
Whether you’ve encountered these issues before or are just beginning to build your safeguarding awareness, this session offers a critical foundation for ethical and responsive practice.
