Preventative Healthcare

This group identified an issue within our current healthcare which is designed to treat people often when their condition becomes unmanageable, as well as wanting to brdige the gap between mental and physical health. They focussed particularly on the depression and obesity cycle which they believe is a neglected issue. They offer preventative solutions to this such as exercise groups, community gaardening, school-based interventions etc. to move from a curative model to a preventative model.
