The Alabama Wellness Alliance (AWA) is excited to announce the "For Every Body" campaign, which encourages healthy lifestyle behaviors and access to resources for all Alabamians, regardless of age, race, size or ability level. The campaign includes social media graphics and messages that can be utilized to increase awareness of the Alabama Physical Activity and Nutrition Plan (ALPAN), promote state and local events, promote healthy behaviors, encourage use of community resources, and much more.

AWA member Lita Chatham said, "Everyone can take small steps towards better health. The 'For Every Body' campaign encourages participation in healthy lifestyle behaviors such as eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking water, and being physically active in ways you enjoy."

The "For Every Body" campaign toolkit provides information on health promotions and observances, sample social media posts by sector, and graphics in both English and Spanish. The public is invited to view and utilize the campaign toolkit and materials at the For Every Body Campaign.

The Alabama Wellness Alliance is a volunteer membership organization that seeks to create a healthier Alabama through advocacy, environmental changes and programs to support and promote healthy lifestyles. Partners in the alliance address wellness through nutrition and physical activity strategies that improve health behaviors. Please visit this website if you are interested in joining.
