About Us
What is our mission?
Lifestyle Medicine Victoria has a mission to support people who are at risk of lifestyle-related health issues and to create more productive and happier lives.
How do we help?
We empower the individual to focus on self-managing their health over the long-term, in turn developing choice and control across the lifespan. For example, a health plan may focus on physical exercise and nutrition leading to a stronger self-identity and employment opportunities.
We help prevent and manage conditions resulting from:
* Social isolation and access to social supports due to intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability
* Poor diet or nutrition
* Anxiety
* Physical inactivity
* Chronic stress
* Influences of society and environment
* Smoking
* Alcohol overconsumption
* Poor or inadequate sleep
* Loss of culture and identity
* Other
Professional development
