Attention residents of HRM! Have you ever been told what your weight should be? The truth is, our health is about much more than a number on a scale. If you ar...e ready to shift your focus away from the scale and onto long-lasting behavior changes that support better health, our new 10 Week Beyond Weight series may be the program you’ve been looking for. This free program will run virtually using Zoom for Healthcare. Our team of health care professionals will lead you through interactive sessions and teach you about important behaviours you may adopt in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, mental wellness and more. Please call 902-460-4560 for more information or to complete a program screening form today! Lunchtime and evening sessions available. Nova Scotia Health IWK Health Centre

Free programs all across Nova Scotia! They are offered online through Zoom. (If you are not familiar with Zoom, don’t worry, it is super easy to get started and very user friendly). They have a variety of strong programs for those struggling with their weight. Check them out!
