7 to 13 Years Called MEND

13 to 17 Years Called SHINE

The SHINE project is for young people aged between 13 and 17years, who are overweight or obese, to help them to understand their weight problem, so they can manage it more effectively.

 Supports the family to make changes. 

 Provides knowledge and develops skills to promote lifestyle changes with emphasis on nutrition and exercise.

 Promotes the development of self esteem, confidence and independence in making decisions about their lifestyle.

 Encourages young people to become more active by providing the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of sports and activities.

 SHINE consists of an initial 12-week programme of activities covering nutrition, exercise, confidence building, bullying, and stress management with an emphasis on setting realistic individual goals.

 The SHINE facilitators have been trained to deliver the programme and refer participants to other agencies for further support as necessary, for example Reflections (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services)

 Participants have the opportunity for further ongoing support through a maintenance programme, which will include cooking skills and buddying training.

 Young people can refer themselves to the programme although parental consent will be sought.

If you would like to book a place on the next programme or require further information please contact Sarah Southern at the health improvement service, Oldham Community Health Service, Part of NHS Oldham.
