Invictus Games participants saw positive benefits from competitive sports according to new research funded by the Forces in Mind Trust.
The evaluation of competitors and non-competitors is the first study on the long-term benefits of international competitive sports in wounded, injured and sick serving and former personnel.
The IGF Conversation is designed to promote the sharing of best practice on a range of relevant subjects within the Invictus community through a combination of either online webinars and/or in person symposia. This iteration of the IGF Conversation will be entitled ‘The Invictus Community: Enabling a Home for Respect’ and draws on the central theme of IG2023 of emphasising the common ground between the military and their respective societies and how they can both support and learn from each other.

This IGF Conversation focused on the activities in sport and adventurous challenge on offer Beyond the Invictus Games. In focusing on improving lives beyond the Games, the event considered the development and growth of the community and its ever changing needs, sharing of best practice within the WIS community - specifically WIS Peer Support networks; involvement within the We Are Invictus community; and exploring the benefits of taking part in Invictus Endeavours.
We regularly hold virtual or in person conferences to bring together the international community to address challenges and discuss solutions to recovery pathways. Whilst the IGF Conversation series was borne out of necessity to keep the Invictus community connected during the pandemic; it has evolved into a critical offering of support and engagement in our ‘beyond the games’ activity. Sharing best practice, shining a light on challenges and opportunities facing our global WIS community.
‘I am really genuinely looking forward to seeing how the IGF Conversations continue to develop and to bring this wonderful international community together’. – Kate Silverton, Host of The IGF Conversation: Employment and Employability.
The next iteration of the IGF Conversation is a hybrid Conversation, and taking place on May 7th 14.00 UK Time. It will be focused on the Invictus Games Foundation's 10 year anniversary and building a global community.
Through sharing best practice, we influence the development of research and knowledge around trauma recovery, rehabilitation, and the power of sport, in order to shift attitudes towards disability and mental health.
