Specialist Child Healthy Weight Support

​A programme which helps children, young people and families to make small, sustainable lifestyle changes

The programme includes:

  • An initial assessment with a specialist dietitian
  • 1:1 family support
  • Diet and lifestyle advice
  • Behaviour change techniques

These sessions are currently provided online or face to face by our specialist weight management dietitians.

Psychology support

We understand that physical and emotional wellbeing are connected, therefore it may be helpful for our families to work with our psychology team who have specialist skills in children and adolescent mental health, if this is appropriate.

Physical activity

We are keen to encourage increased physical activity levels and for those children and young people who struggle with this, we have some 1:1 and group options available which can be discussed at your appointments.
