Healthy children are able to learn better at school and have the energy to explore outside the classroom too. To help the families across Hume and Whittlesea, DPV Health developed a series of short educational videos to give families practical, evidence-based tips on a range of health topics.

These videos feature local families and were developed in partnership with local health care professionals and educational leaders to ensure the content is evidence-based and relevant to the families.

To ensure the videos are accessible to a large number of the families, they are available to watch in English, Arabic and Punjabi languages.

The videos cover the following health topics:

Support material has been developed to help consolidate the healthy behaviours at home. These information handouts will help families apply the key messages from the videos in their daily routines.
