“Disease and disasters come and go like rain, but health is like the sun that illuminates the entire village.” Kenyan Luo Proverb YOUR MIND & BODY ARE ALREADY INCREDIBLY POWERFUL BUT COULD YOU MAKE THEM EVEN HEALTHIER? CLICK HERE FOR OUR HEALTH & WELLNESS QUESTIONNAIRE IF WE ASK YOU TO TAKE THE QUESTIONNAIRE AGAIN AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT?
"Health & Wellness" is one of the key strategic focal areas of the 100 Black Men of London. It is one of what we call our 'Four for the Future', namely Mentoring, Education, Economic Empowerment and Health & Wellness. Coinciding with the positive energy and enthusiasm to be generated with the London 2012 Olympics, the 100 Black Men of London is proud to present its Health & Wellness Programme 2012. Through a series of events and activities, surveys and assessments, educational programmes and through utilising social media and a range of other tools at our disposal, the 100 Black Men of London shall focus on achieving its Health & Wellness (H&W) objectives for the year, namely: • To educate parents and children on Health & Wellness related issues affecting the Black community in particular and society in general; • To measurably improve the overall levels of Health & Wellness of the parents and children participating in our programme over the course of the year; • To positively contribute to raising the awareness of Health and Wellness issues affecting the Black community and establishing links with other community groups to achieve this. The specific topics and issues we shall be focusing on include:
Each Month will be dedicated to a particular Health & Wellness related issue (March is Prostate Cancer Month; April is Nutrition Month). We will send out a Guide at the beginning of each month and ask you to take a simple 10 question questionnaire to test the level of your knowledge and awareness. We will invite you to do health check ups so you know your own state of Health & Wellness. In October we will be hosting a one day Health & Wellness Conference featuring debates, workshops, seminars and interactive activities all focused on topical issues of Health & Wellness. Our annual Black Heroes Walk will be held to coincide with the Olympics Our Family Fun Day will be themed as a Family Health & Wellness Sports Day Finally, at the end of the year, we shall be presenting a report, setting out what we have learned of the state of the Health & Wellness of our community, what impact this is having and what steps we can all take to make improvements. The impact of poor Health & Wellness in life is often severely underestimated. Likewise, the benefits of good Health & Wellness are numerous and often wide ranging.
Join us in 2012 to make this year a positive and health one for our youth, ourselves and our community.
