Generation health is a FREE program for families with children ages 8-12 years old offered in communities across B.C. The program is for families who want to be on a healthy lifestyle path. It is for families to complete together, at least one parent or caregiver must attend the sessions with the child (it does not need to be the same parent or caregiver each week).

The program is offered both Virtually via Zoom for families across British Columbia, and In-Person in many communities. It was designed in B.C. by healthy lifestyle and behaviour change experts.

• The program supports participants to make family changes to health behaviours such as healthy eating, physical activity, positive mental health, screen time, and sleep.

• The focus is on practical, fun activities that build family connectedness while building both the parent and child’s skills to make lasting changes. The positive mental health components aim to build resilience and selfconfidence. During the 9-week program, families in Weekly Group Sessions are also offered:

• 3 virtual group cooking classes led by a Registered Dietitian

• 1 virtual group Q&A / info session with a Registered Dietitian

• 1 virtual group Q&A / info session with a Mental Health Specialist • After successfully completing the program, families will receive a family recreation centre pass, continued access to the mobile App, and our monthly healthy living e-newsletter.
