Active Families
THE PROGRAMME
The Active Families programme is a community based health initiative designed to increase physical activity in children and young people aged 5 – 12 years in the Whakatane area.
The programme supports children and their families to lead healthier and more active lifestyles through encouragement and education, nutritional guidance and advice, realistic goal setting and ongoing support for a period of up to 12 months.
The programme is available for any school aged children who may have poor eating habits or weight issues, a stable medical condition and would benefit from becoming more active. Support of whanau/family is crucial.
Referrals to the programme can be made by your Doctor, Practice Nurse, Paediatrician, Dietician, School Nurse or Community Health Nurse.
