ACTIVE FAMILIES

Active Families - Healthier Together

Our free programme is here to support and motivate you and your whānau to make healthy lifestyle changes.  

What is active Families? 

Building healthy eating and exercise patterns early in life are key for long term wellbeing. Whānau involvement in lifestyle change is a major determinant of the success of changes made! Active Families helps give your whānau the skills, ideas, and resources to make this happen!

What to expect? 

• An initial meeting at your home or over the phone to identify the needs of your whānau.
• Goal setting for your time with Active Families and planning activities around this to help achieve your goal.
• Activity sessions tailored to your whānau's interests and needs.
• Individualised nutrition and physical activity advice.
• Regular sessions/check ins to help you with maintaining your whānau's goals.

Check out the Tinana ora mō ngā tamariki guide/checklist for the goals we work towards throughout Active Families.
