Essex Wellbeing Service: Child Lifestyle Service
We are able offer support for all school-aged children in Essex, and their families. We provide a judgement-free service that is centred around the family’s current level of knowledge and their specific needs. This is a person-centred approach and can be tailored to provide the level of support required by individual families, rather than a one size fits all programme. Our friendly, supportive coaches will work with you to encourage lots of small changes that together can make a big difference.
