Healthy Tasmania | We were built to adapt 

 

Lucky, because that’s what we’re all having to do during COVID-19 and it can be scary.

 

At Healthy Tasmania we have always been focussed on bringing people together to solve community problems, so we can all stay connected and be as healthy as we can be. Yep, we’ve got a big job ahead of us right now, eh?

 

We can't do everything like we used to, so we’re changing, and will keep changing daily and trying new things so that our people, and your people, can be distanced but not disconnected. 

 

Here are some of the ways we've adapted so far during COVID-19

 

• Join in with (and have a laugh at) our #kitchensession that we recorded when the COVID-19 restrictions first began in March. You can find the videos here​
• We've already moved many of our community and workplace health and wellbeing programs online. Some of our community partners offer FREE Facebook live health and wellbeing sessions that you can access no matter where you live. Check out the Active Launceston and Healthy George Town Facebook pages to join in.
• We teamed up with the George Town Council to create a special COVID-19 season of our Health Speak podcast. You'll hear from some of those people and support services who are doing it really tough right now, to find some practical, simple ways that we can all help, from our home. You'll come away feeling helpful, rather than helpless. You can listen to it here 
• We are excited to be working with one of our community partners to develop some online sessions to keep you Mentally Well. All the details will be coming soon.
• We've created Street Shuffle! Don't be surprised if we turn up in your street and get you moving. 

 

We are problems solvers. We are health and wellbeing promoters. We are storytellers and storymakers. We are project managers. We are innovators. We are doers.

 

We help people understand why their health matters; we need this now, more than ever.

 

You'll find a big list of ways we can help via this big button, or let's create something new together and keep your people safe, connected and healthy.
