Healthy Families Ōtautahi Christchurch

Creating healthy change in the places we live, learn, work and play.

About

Healthy Families Ōtautahi is proud to be one of 10 communities in the Healthy Families New Zealand initiative. This large-scale prevention programme unites community leaders to promote better health where we live, learn, work and play.

Our goal is for everyone in our community to live in environments that enable healthy food and physical activity choices, support and encourage us to be smoke-free, to drink alcohol only in moderation, and increase mental health, resilience and wellbeing. Environments where the healthy choice is the easy choice.

Case Studies

Healthy Families New Zealand

The Healthy Families New Zealand approach focuses on addressing the underlying conditions that impact our health and wellbeing to reduce the risk of preventable chronic disease. All Healthy Families NZ localities are connected through this common approach and principles, which creates our prevention movement.

We seek to uncover the journey that leads to chronic disease, understanding the lived experience of whānau and communities so we can determine how best to address the conditions that lead to experiencing preventable chronic disease.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to whānau, leaders, champions, change-makers, communities and countless people who contribute to, enable, and bring the Healthy Families NZ movement to life.
