Living strong workshop flipcharts (2008)

Description

This is a set of 9 x A2 sized flipcharts covering the following topics:

• why do people get too heavy?
• what to eat to stay healthy
• move more and lose more
• buying healthy food
• self esteem and behaviour change
• diabetes awareness
• healthy cooking
• how to spend your food shopping money
• staying on track.
  

These flipcharts have been developed as part of the Living strong program - a weight management and healthy lifestyle program targeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in rural remote and urban communities.
The program was developed by the Tropical Public Health Unit nutrition teams in Cairns and Townsville as a primary prevention intervention to address the high incidence of diabetes and other lifestyle diseases among North Queensland Indigenous adults.
