Your Allied Health team will review the list of group education sessions offered and discuss with your the ones your family may benefit from, based on your family care plan and healthy living goals.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • Nutrition and eating behaviours
  • Family connections
  • Parental limit-setting
  • Physical activity
  • Self-esteem and body image
  • Weight stigma

I really enjoyed the support that we received from our group facilitators. Being able to have access to their knowledge and ask questions was so amazing. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Generation Health Clinic accepts referrals for all children/teens between 6 and 17 who meet our eligibility criteria. As part of our assessment, we will determine if our physical activity group program will fit your child’s unique needs. If it is not the best option for your child’s needs, we will work with you to find alternative resources and supports.

Only the child/teen referred to Generation Health Clinic will receive a comprehensive assessment and attend individual appointments with the clinical team. Group education sessions are dedicated to parents and caregivers only. However, siblings and other family members are welcome and encouraged to attend the family physical activity group program led by an exercise specialist. We also encourage you to make healthy living changes together as a family by applying what you learn while enrolled with us.
