Our Calderdale Health and Wellbeing Strategy aims to enable everyone to live a larger life. To achieve this, we need to support good health and well-being throughout the course of our lives. So, we have one priority goal for each life stage:
- Starting Well. For babies, very young children aged 0-5 and expectant families.
- Developing Well. For childhood and young adulthood (aged 6 to 25 years).
- Living and Working Well. For working age adults.
- Ageing Well. With a focus on older people, aged 50 and over.
To steer the work in each priority area, each life stage will have a strategy developed.
