Lighten Up

Lighten Up is a group-based healthy lifestyle program for adults who want to improve their health. This program is run by qualified health professionals and focuses on increasing healthy eating and physical activity.

Evaluation of Lighten up has shown that it is successful in achieving a significant increase in healthy eating, physical activity, self-assessed health and self-esteem; and in preventing weight gain and achieving modest weight loss amongst participants at the end of the two-month program.

The cost is $11 per person for the entire course and this covers the fees of the educational booklet.

Any person at risk of chronic disease or overweight/obesity is eligible to be referred to the Lighten Up program.
