At Stepping Stone, we believe in a holistic approach to recovery, and understand that physical and mental health are intrinsically linked.
We know that due to the effects of psychiatric medication, symptoms of mental illness, and associated low motivation levels, a high number of people with mental health issues also experience physical health issues due to weigh gain. As a result, the members and staff at Stepping Stone have developed a Healthy Active Living Program (HALP), focusing on encouraging a healthy lifestyle for our members which includes opportunities for fitness, healthy eating, increased well being, and most importantly, fun.
We offer a range of activities for all levels of fitness. These activities include:
Daily
Morning Walk
Lunchtime Meditation
Lunchtime Sport
Lunchtime Walk
Tuesday & Thursday
Swimming at Langlands pool
Thursday Social Rec
Walk at members choice
But wait, there is more..
We know that diet is just as important as exercise. That is why our lunchtime meal consists of a freshly prepared cooked meal, or a delicious salad buffet, and our café offers fresh fruit, yoghurt, nuts, muesli and other healthy snacks should you feel hungry throughout the day.
