Accredited Lifestyle Modification Program Name: Lighten Up
Lighten Up to a Healthy Lifestyle Program is an evidence-based selective preventative intervention developed by Queensland Health. It is a group-based program that encourages adults who are at risk of chronic disease to adopt a healthier lifestyle, prevent weight gain, or lose weight through sustainable behaviour change. Lighten Up assists participants to develop skills to set and achieve goals for long term health benefits. It does not focus on short-term results, but rather on strategies that enable people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The program consists of seven workshops and 3 individual screening sessions, and is designed to be delivered by health professionals from a variety of backgrounds. The workshops are run over six months to comply with the National accreditation standards.
