Queensland parents armed to fight childhood obesity Parents who are struggling to maintain a healthy weight in their children are being supported through a new, free, ground-breaking program rolling out this month across Queensland. QUT is delivering a program called PEACH™ (Parenting, Eating and Activity for Child Health). It is available to families with a child 5-11 years who is above a healthy weight for their age and gender. The PEACH™ program is funded by Queensland Health under the National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health - Healthy Children. As part of the program, families attend 10 sessions over six months, with additional support in the form of three phone calls. Topics covered include nutrition, increasing physical activity, reducing screen time and overcoming resistance to change. The PEACH™ team would be happy to come and speak with organisations interested in partnering with the program. Parents/carers interested in registering free call 1800 263 519 or visit www.peachqld.com.au
