Active Families
The aim of the Active Families programme is to provide support, educate and encourage families to set goals for lifestyle change and physical activity in children and young people.
Children are referred to the Active Families programme by self referral or through schools, health professionals who feel that the child’s health would benefit from more physical activity in the family setting.
The programme has been developed to address the issues of childhood obesity and other health problems which would benefit from physical activity through realistic goal setting, ongoing support, encouragement and education.
Active Families is currently operating in Marlborough and Kaikoura. It is planned to expand to Nelson/Tasman in the near futrue.
