The Plan
|
|
My turn My time My plan originated as a project of the Central West Falls Prevention Network (Central West Ontario Health Departments).
Each health department adapts the program to suit their local needs. |
|
The My turn My time My plan project of Hamilton Public Health offers women very realistic support about how they can take their turn in the family, so that they can prioritize themselves, their health, and physical activity. |
|
It promotes walking as a convenient, inexpensive, and safe physical activity. The project acknowledges the unique challenges women face daily.
lack of personal time, fatigue, and guilt
delegating and sharing family responsibilities
juggling multiple priorities
The project includes
- a poster, with the slogan My turn My time My plan helps women feel entitled to take time for themselves
- 'My plan' helps women take time away to think about the benefits, anticipate challenges and plan for support
- an insightful poem, printed on an attractive bookmark says what every woman wants to hear and gives her support and encouragement to take care of herself
- gift ideas under What Women Really Want
- My turn My time My plan Cycle
- My turn My time My plan supports walking by linking to the resources of Hamilton Walks, also on www.doitwell.ca
