Starting from a general literature research of the best practices and entities in the European Union regarding sport, physical exercise and mental health, this tool includes several kinds of practices (therapeutic schemes, campaigns, educational programmes, and studies) that are being carried out in different countries.

search was conducted which covered the whole Europe. A functional approach has been developed towards this goal. Thus, the European Union has been divided in five coherent geographic areas: North, South, West, East and Central.

This tool is addressed not only to professionals (physical therapists, sports professionals, physical activity teachers and monitors, occupational therapists, etc.), but also to all people with mental health problems in order to improve their quality of life and protect their rights, dignity and inclusion through the creation of therapeutic paths able to combine the typical sports training sessions together with psychiatric rehabilitation.
