Essex Wellbeing Service: Child Lifestyle Service

We are able offer support for all school-aged children in Essex, and their families. We provide a judgement-free service that is centred around the family’s current level of knowledge and their specific needs. This is a person-centred approach and can be tailored to provide the level of support required by individual families, rather than a one size fits all programme. Our friendly, supportive coaches will work with you to encourage lots of small changes that together can make a big difference.

We work with families face to face or virtually, and can offer help and advice on topics such as: Portion sizes; Food label reading; Healthy shopping on a budget; Physical activity advice and options;  Healthy coping strategies; The importance of sleep and how to improve it; Nutrition advice; Mindfulness and relaxation; Boosting self-esteem; Cookery lessons; Fussy eating advice and Behaviour changes. Not all of these sessions will suit everybody, which is why we have made our approach family-led.
