Improving Whānau Health and wellbeing where they Live, Learn, Work & Play

Healthy families…

is a large scale prevention initiative that brings community leadership together in a united effort for better health in the places we Live, Learn, work and Play.

The goal is for all New Zealanders to enjoy social and Physical environments that enable healthy food and Physical activity choices, being smoke free, reducing the harm from Alcohol and increasing mental health resilience and wellbeing.

A healthier Aotearoa starts in The places where we live, learn work and play. In healthier environments, children learn better, workplaces are more Productive, people are Healthier and happier, and communities are thriving.

By making our environments healthier, we’re laying the foundations for a healthier future for everyone.
