An excellent meeting yesterday between the partners for this year's Let's Get Physical! campaign.
The only worry about the otherwise fantastic materials was that one person thought they could see a maggot feasting on the apple in the campaign logo - see above.
I assured everybody that this could not conceivably have happened but this morning we looked very carefully and to my horror and embarrassment the close-up shows this...
Too late to change anything now so it seems the campaign has an unofficial mascot.
Any suggestions for a name for the little fellow?
The campaign challenges people with a mental illness and their families to set their own physical health goals by:
● sourcing and preparing healthy, high quality, good value food
● finding ways to become more active
● getting the right support from health professionals to stay well.
Throughout Summer 2014, 22 county events will give service users and carers across Wales the opportunity to:
● get a physical health check up from a qualified healthcare professional
● take part in physical activities
● receive practical information and advice about how to minimise the side-effects of medication
● take part in cookery sessions and get advice and information on nutrition and diet
● get advice on reducing drug/alcohol/nicotine intake.
And the politicians, policy makers and service providers need to play their part too - see this previous post.
The campaign website goes live on 1 May and the Minister of Health launches the campaign on 8 May.
