Healthy Lifestyles
The Healthy Lifestyles program supports a range of primary prevention programs in line with the Queensland Strategy for Chronic Disease 2005- 2015 and the Eat Well Queensland Strategy 2002-2010.
Primary prevention activities include:
• Co ordination, planning, implementation of the Lighten Up to a Healthier Lifestyle Program, a group-based healthy lifestyle support program which employs a behaviour change approach to improving health and well-being and preventing chronic diseases.
• Supporting the implementation of the Living Strong program - a healthy lifestyle and weight management group-based program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults (>18 years). Again, this program is aimed at preventing chronic disease.
• Development of physical activity and nutrition related health promotion initiatives.
