More on Starting Well
Promoting a healthy lifestyle, mitigating and preventing adversity, promoting positive mental health and tackling chronic inflammatory and infection-related disorders are part of our mission to better the lives of women, children and young people across the region and beyond.
A life course approach is key. Good maternal health increases the chances for a safe delivery and good birth weight; both crucial factors for a positive start to life.
Promoting a healthy lifestyle decreases the risk of adverse health factors for children as they grow up.
Liverpool’s goal is to be recognised as a UNICEF Child Friendly City, with politicians, council staff, universities, health providers and others seeking to ensure children’s rights are reflected in policies, programmes and budgets.
There are projects in the following research fields to get involved in:
- Obesity
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Prematurity
- Vaccinations
- Chronic conditions, diabetes etc
- Health inequalities across the life course
The Starting Well programme runs a variety of workshops throughout the year to establish and develop potential collaborations partnerships.
We would be very interested in hearing your ideas and thoughts regarding a potential collaboration.
