Little things can make a big difference in addressing chronic illnesses here in the north.

Learn about those on March 7th during the free Living Well Lunch sponsored by the Northern Health Region’s Healthy Together Now program.

Ashley Grzebeniak, a presenter at the lunch, shares some of the projects sponsored in the past by the program.

“We fund lots of different programs out of the schools here in Thompson such as the FAST program as well as some nature based play and mental wellness days. We’ve also funded lots of different physical activity groups such as bringing in instructors to do chair yoga with seniors or different exercise classes. Anything mental wellness focused, we have funded traditional crafting groups in the past, people can just discuss with me their ideas and we can figure something out.”

This lunch will feature presentations on “How to Support your Community in Grief”, “Grocery Shopping on a Budget”, and “4 secrets to Becoming Active.”

Register early as space is limited. Just contact Ashley at agrzebeniak@nrha.ca.

More information is available by tuning in to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10.
