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

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
