Description

Green Prescription (GRx) is a FREE programme to improve the health and wellbeing of adults and whānau through physical activity/nutrition support to help individuals make sustainable, healthy behaviour changes.

How we support

We can provide support to individuals or to families, adapting based on need (which might be as little as a one-off contact), but could also include:

Face-to-face consultations (in-homes, in the community or online) with a Programme Advisor, with regular follow-ups for up to 12-months
Resources and advice around healthy eating, physical activity, and general wellbeing
Motivation and goal-setting support
Practical cooking and food workshops
Physical activity tasters, and support to link into community events and physical activity programmes
