Mallorca basketball: three games for mental health groups

Mallorca’s Azulmarino Mallorca Palma is opening three basketball matches at Son Moix in Palma, Mallorca, to people who use mental health organisations, their families and professionals. The club and the Mental Health Federation signed the agreement on Monday, 2 November. The matches are on 6 November, 9 December and 29 December.

People from the federation’s six member organisations can attend. The agreement aims to help people with mental health problems take part in community life and challenge the prejudice they face.

The club also wants its players to meet people who use the organisations. Federation president Guillem Febrer said sport can bring people together, while the club’s sporting director, Jordi Riera, said basketball courts can be places where people meet and take part.
