change3

A health education group for

people with learning disabilities

Monday 19th April to Monday 5th July

Venue – Stockingford Clinic

Would you like to be more healthy?

Would you like to feel good?

Or do you know someone with a learning disability who wants to make these changes in their lives?

The change3 group hopes to help group members to think about the link between what you eat, what you do and how you feel.

Working together helps motivate group members in making healthier choices and enjoy it in the process.

To help group members make changes we ask them to nominate a relative or carer to attend some of the sessions as a ‘buddy’.

The change3 group runs over 10 weeks. Each session running from 1.30 – 3.00 p.m. which includes 30 minutes of gentle exercise at the end of the session. If you have any concerns about being able to take part in his please consult you own GP before the course starts.

For group members to get any

benefit from the sessions, they

must want to make some

lifestyle changes however small.

Each person will be asked to set three personal goals.

The change3 group has input from

Elaine Jones Support Worker

Anita Murphy Community Nurse

Janet Gill Specialist Dietitian

Liz Chesters Consultant Clinical Psychologist
