A healthy future for the whole family
Parenting an overweight or obese child can be difficult, especially if they suffer from lack of confidence or even feel depressed because of their size. At MEND, we show parents how they can help boost their children's self-esteem whilst changing the way they think and feel about food. Our expert advice makes it easier for you and your children to begin to enjoy the amazing benefits of following a healthier lifestyle.
Everyone is in it together
Enrolling in a MEND Programme means you no longer have to search for the answers alone. Everyone on the Programme has struggled with food and shares similar concerns. Our trainers will teach you, in a friendly and stimulating environment, simple yet effective dietary and activity techniques specifically designed to treat overweight and obese children and their families.
No family member is excluded
Ideally both parents or carers should attend all sessions, but the course requirements is for at least one to attend. Research has shown that results are far greater when parents take an active role and get involved - on the Programme AND afterwards.
MEND's benefits are long-lasting and worth it!
Evidence shows that overweight children have a 40-70% chance of becoming obese adults. But thanks to our unique approach, we are changing that and ensuring a healthier and brighter future for all MEND families.
