WHO WE ARE

Athlete Interactions is for athletes, by athletes

Athlete Interactions is an athlete-run not-for-profit organisation which aims to decrease the stigma and increase the action around mental health in sport for women and girls. What we do is driven by the needs of our community, and we frequently engage with them to confirm this. Athlete Interactions decided to focus on women and girls in sport because that is our combined experience – it was founded and is now run by an all-female group of athletes, both active and retired, from club level to Olympians (Summer and Winter) from a range of sports. Our athletes are from a range of backgrounds, and races, and from eight different sports. By our demographic makeup, we are a diverse group, and this helps us to be inclusive because we can reach and relate to the experiences of a uniquely wide range of athletes. We support anyone who identifies as a woman or girl and as an athlete. We are unique in that we are athlete led, female-focused, and independent of any individual sport or governing body.
