We developed an innovative exercise and lifestyle modification program tailored to individuals with diabetes. This program addressed participants' unique challenges and provided practical, personalized support. To ensure safety, we also created an exercise policy with detailed procedures, including a comprehensive head injury protocol. These measures guarantee that all activities were safe, effective, and aligned with the highest standards.

Recognizing the profound benefits of mindfulness for mental well-being, we implemented a mindfulness program. This program was thoughtfully designed, incorporating cultural elements that resonate with racialized groups to connect more deeply with the practice and providing a space where everyone can appreciate, engage, and benefit from the training, enhancing their mental wellness in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

At TMLC, we understand the impact of musculoskeletal pain and other health conditions on daily life. To address this, we developed a series of simple, home-based therapeutic exercise prescriptions. These are specially designed to help individuals manage and alleviate their pain and improve their overall health from the comfort of their homes.

Walking, a simple and enjoyable physical activity, requires nothing more than a good pair of shoes. With this in mind, we initiated neighbourhood walking programs specifically designed to encourage women to incorporate more movement into their daily lives. These programs are not just about walking; they are about embracing an active lifestyle as a routine part of everyday life. It is out aim to make physical activity accessible, enjoyable, and a natural part of the daily rhythm for women in different communities.
