Hello HEALers,
The Childhood Obesity Foundation has launched the Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it! (MEND) program for children and their families interested in adopting a healthier lifestyle. Watch the video to see the program in action.
The MEND Program involves:
- Parents/caregivers joining their children in each session to learn about how to choose healthier foods and spend more time being physically active;
- Families participating in group sessions that show how small changes can make a big difference;
- Practical demonstrations, games and tips about healthy foods, label reading and portion sizes; and
- Fun physical activity sessions for kids while parents discuss their successes and challenges with trained program leaders.
MEND is offered in a number of BC communities including Vancouver, Chilliwack, Victoria, Kamloops, Kelowna, Prince George, Quesnel, Abbotsford, Langley, New Westminster, Saanich, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Terrace and Nelson.

Cheers,
Jacqueline
