For Me For All focuses on the need to make sport accessible to everyone and for everyone, in order to promote health, both physical and mentaly, through the practice of physical activity.

Together with the practice of physical exercise, we also verified the relevance of involving activities in a green environment, since it provides even more beneficial effects and contributions to health when the adolescent is placed in green spaces to practice physical exercise. Physical activity in a green space has an important impact on children and adolescents in the context of their physical and mental health, specifically in terms of mental resilience, well-being, self-esteem and social interactions.

In this sense, For me For all chose institutionalized adolescents at risk as its target since these group tend to lack empathy, lack of socialization skills, mismanagement of their aggressive behaviours as well as other vulnerabilities that end up significantly influencing their psychological well-being and mental health.

Therefore, the For me For all in addition to promoting physical health to adolescents through physical activity, will also contribute to mental health through the development of social and emotional skills, through tutoring. This sports tutoring will be performed by former elite athletes, who will be properly formed with social and emotional skills for their intervention. Developing social and emotional skills will create the opportunity for behavioural change in the target group, providing significant changes at the personal, social, educational, health and even professional levels.
