Mates4Mates New Year, Healthier You Program

• Are you a veteran or family member looking to improve your physical and mental health in the new year? 
• Do you want to make the most of your new year motivation? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the New Year, Healthier You Program might be for you! 

What is the New Year, Healthier You Program? 

The New Year, Healthier You Program aims to help veterans and family members embrace their “New Year, New Me” motivation to improve their health and wellbeing through physical rehabilitation and psychological strategies. 

Over four weeks, our physical rehabilitation team will introduce participants to a variety of activities, such as group PT, chair yoga, Pilates and more, designed to maintain motivation and build discipline.  

Then, with the support of our mental health team, they will learn psychological principles to help channel this motivation into lasting positive change. 

Please note: 

• Participating in this program means that you are expected to attend all sessions.  
• There is a minimum number of participants required for facilitation of this program. The program may be cancelled if the minimum number is not met.
