Green Prescription - Healthy Lifestyles Programme
What is it?
Green Prescription is a free health and wellbeing support service.
We are here to help those who would benefit from more physical activity and/or healthy eating support, or those with long-term health conditions. If you are wanting to move more, change eating habits, or better manage a long-term condition such as diabetes, joint pain, respiratory, or heart conditions, the Green Prescription team can support anyone in Otago.
What do we offer?
Personalised support - an initial consultation and regular follow-ups for up to six months.
Green Prescription exercise groups available to everyone in the community.
Ideas, tips, and information about healthy eating, physical activity, and mindfulness.
Opportunities and support to find and try new things in and around your local community.
Goal setting, motivational support, and accountability.
What's next?
If you have completed a self-referral (button above) or been referred by your doctor, nurse, or other health professional, we will reach out to you to find a time for an initial consultation.
The initial consultation is just a conversation to find out what is on top for you and to come up with a plan moving forward.
This local service is free through funding by Health New Zealand. We can meet with you face-to-face, over the phone, or even via video call - which ever is most accessible to you. If you have been thinking about making changes, Green Prescription is here to support you.
