Using the Resources for Counselling
For practitioners: here are a few tips to keep in mind when using the toolkit!
- Each resource in the toolkit has been designed to help facilitate the physical activity counselling process.
- Practitioners should use these resources in conjunction with other approaches and techniques used for physical activity counselling.
- These resources are not designed for clients to use on their own. Rather, a practitioner should meet with a client to review and discuss the content of each resource being used.
- The resources are also available in French and Punjabi for those clients who may have limited knowledge of English.
