Older people are encouraged to register now for a free online healthy lifestyle program that starts on Monday 12 July 2021.
The 10-week program includes access to self-directed online modules on healthy lifestyle topics and a home exercise program.
Seniors aged 60 years and over and Aboriginal people aged 45 years and over living in the Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) can participate.
Healthy and Active for Life Online is a free NSW Health initiative designed for people who are living at home and wish to increase their confidence, knowledge and skills to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
‘This is a great opportunity to get active and learn about healthy lifestyle habits from the comfort of your own home, and with advice from trained coaches at a time that suits you,’ Jillian Adams, NNSWLHD health promotion manager said.
Participants will receive a weekly phone call from a trained phone coach at a time that suits them.
If the starting date does not suit you, check the website as more 10-week programs will be offered during school terms.
