Physical Health
Physical wellbeing is crucial for overall mental health. Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, while children need around 7 hours. It’s important for children to take part in aerobic activities and exercises that strengthen their muscles and bones to promote a healthy lifestyle. Below you can find a wealth of information and services locally that can increase your families physical activity.
