This approach requires local professionals from both the healthcare and social domains to work closely together with the child and family throughout the entire process.
As part of the JOGG approach, JOGG implements the Child to a Healthier Weight approach in its municipalities. At the request of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, JOGG has formed a coalition with the Netherlands Youth Institute (NJI), the Netherlands Centre for Child Health (NCJ), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam – Care for Obesity (C4O), and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) to coordinate the implementation, safeguarding and further development of Child to a Healthier Weight.
Programme
During this webinar, intended for municipalities, you will receive an explanation of the approach. Experts by experience will also explain how they use Child to a Healthier Weight to improve local youth health.
The webinar is organised by the Child to a Healthier Weight coalition and the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG), and runs from 11:00 to 12:30.
