Regular exercise and healthy life choices keep you energetic, happy and healthy. You might reach high stress levels quickly in a new country, which is why the availability of low-threshold support is important.

Vantaa and Kerava offer adults a wellbeing mentoring service free of charge. The service provides support for starting a fitness hobby, building a balanced diet and sleeping better. The service is also available in English and, if necessary, through an interpreter. 

“The wellbeing mentoring service does not give you a ready-made training programme but incorporates the routines, goals and resources of the client in the wellbeing plan,” says Jan-Erik Jäske, Wellbeing Mentor. 

To contact a wellbeing mentor, please call your health centre, submit a digital symptom survey or ask about the service at your next appointment. 

To be launched in autumn 2026, the English-speaking weight management group is part of the Uusimaa lifestyle counselling development project. The Wellbeing Services County of Vantaa and Kerava focuses on providing lifestyle counselling to immigrants. You can join the group through your health centre.
