Physical activity consultation for family

Physical education consultation is a free service provided by physical education services, which is implemented individually according to the family’s needs. The goal is to support everyday well-being and healthy lifestyles. The themes of the meetings include exercise, working together, nutrition and everyday skills. Physical education works as a companion by supporting, encouraging and motivating people to change their lifestyle.

For whom?

The service is aimed at families in Seinäjoki who need support in managing everyday life or adopting healthier lifestyles. The consultation process can begin as early as during pregnancy.

How to join it?

You can access physical activity counseling with a referral from a health center or public health nurse, recommended by anybody else, or by booking an appointment yourself.

How does it work?

Consultation consists of an individual process, the content and duration of which (maximum 12 months) are planned together with the family. There may be several meetings, and they are carried out according to the family’s needs.

During the meetings:

• We examine the entire family’s resources and everyday life (e.g. exercise, nutrition, sleep, screen time, ways to overcome adversity)
• We set goals and together we find ways to achieve them
• ​​We try out concrete changes in small steps• We get information about the exercise opportunities in Seinäjoki

We support goal setting and motivation.

We create and try different ways to achieve the goals.

Family exercise advice was piloted in 2023 in collaboration with the South Ostrobothnia’s Center of Social Assistance of the Future and the maternity clinic.
