Our curriculum, tools and campaigns work best when there are members of your school community driving the programme. We recommend that you subscribe to the Lifestyle First Champion training (available to 3 members of your school team)to establish effective leadership on all elements of the Lifestyle First programme.

The training take places once each half term, online and builds confidence in practically implementing lifestyle medicine principles across the school community. The sessions also help with planning and timing of initiatives and support with delivering campaigns and events for students and parents.

We recognise that cultural change towards health creation requires a little subtlety and patience. Our platform provides the framework for change but the training helps you adapt it to be effective for your school environment.

The training will take place with other schools so that you can develop networks that can provide ongoing support, sharing best practice and challenges, building confidence and maintaining motivation to create sustainable change.

As teachers we are very aware of the lack of time and resource schools have for new initiatives. The Lifestyle First training has been created to save you time and guide you through the programme. It will hopefully inspire new ideas and your own initiatives and campaigns that will work specifically in your school.
