BE HEALTHY WITH CLC
Healthy young people mean engaged and productive young
people.
It has never been more important for our young people to
understand the significance of living a healthy life.
Along with our partners we have developed a range of challenging
projects all designed to raise awareness of healthy choice
issues amongst our young people and help them integrate good
practice into their everyday lives.
Our key aim is to help encourage positive life choices through
engaging intervention programmes, awareness raising and advisory
services. This in turn will help produce young people who are
able to embrace life and reach their full potential.
Minds L8
This project was designed to help remove some of the stigma and
popular myths surrounding mental health.
Students from Shorefields School who were studying for a Health
and Social Care qualification, were introduced to a variety of
challenges faced by people suffering from various forms of
health issues.
Through hands-on activities including interactive workshops, key
speakers and focus groups, the students were shown a variety of
methods utilised to help combat depression and self-image based
conditions.
They learnt about the importance of nutrition as well as more
alternative therapies such as reflexology, and even took part in
confidence-building workshops.
The project culminated in the students producing their own DVD
showcasing all the topics covered, along with key curriculum
messages and revision tips. The DVD will be used as a study
resource for years to come as the project is set to be rolled
out to Health and Social Care students throughout the City.
Film Fest
A classic film and great company – a fantastic combination!
Our Cinema Club is another example of one of our hugely
successful community projects.
A group of over 50’s meet regularly to watch classic films in
our state-of-the-art theatre complex at Parklands. Another great
reason for the older members of our community to get out and
about, meet friends old and new, add a focal point to their day
and relax!
Lifestyle Coach
We have had an ongoing relationship with a network of Lifestyle
Coaches since our launch.
Starting with our own CLC staff, we have embarked on a rolling
programme of activities centring on life skills, developing
positive attitudes, improving mental health, relaxation
techniques and healthy lifestyle tips.
We have found that these activities not only benefits the staff
involved, but also empowers them to utilise their newfound
skills within the classroom and in a wider context with all our
stakeholders.
