"Lifestyle Matters" is a practical resource that contains a wealth
of ideas and activities for occupational therapists, support
workers, students and other professionals working with older people
in the community. Taking a holistic approach, the Lifestyle Matters
programme challenges participants to examine their lifestyle and to
make positive changes which promote good physical and emotional
health. Themes include: "'The relationship between activity and
health " Maintaining mental well-being'; 'Maintaining physical
well-being'; Safety in the home and community'; and, Personal
circumstances. Each theme is divided into a number of sessions with
ideas for introductory activities, group discussion topics and
group activity ideas. There are also 64 photocopiable handouts in
the book and on the downloadable resources that can be used within
the group sessions. The book is divided into four parts: 'The
Lifestyle Matters programme and the principles behind it'; 'How to
implement the programme - including who can benefit from it, how
long it should last and the resources required'; 'Delivering the
programme - looking at session structure, selecting a session and
keeping a record of group and individual sessions'; and, 'The
Lifestyle Matters manual - each section containing a combination of
group sessions, individual sessions and visits or outings'.
Inspired by research by Florence Clark and her colleagues at the
University of Southern California, this Lifestyle Matters programme
has been developed through consultation with older people at every
stage, making it a welcome and invaluable resource. As one member
of a group exclaimed, 'You didn't give me a new lease of life, you
gave me back my life!'. "Lifestyle Matters" is now referred to in
the NICE guidelines (2009) where it is identified as the
intervention of choice for therapists and professionals responding
to the guidance by this professional body.
