Caribbean Primary Care, Caribbean Nursing and Youth Netherlands (ZJCN), Fysio di Bario, Bon Bida Bonaire Health Centre and JOGG (Healthy Youth, Healthy Future) are working together to provide a Comprehensive Lifestyle Intervention (GLI) for overweight or obese residents of Bonaire. GLI is a two-year program guided by a lifestyle coach.
Comprehensive lifestyle intervention
Lifestyle coaches from Bon Bida Bonaire Health Center and Fysio di Bario Physical Therapy Clinic run GLI. The focus of GLI is not only on weight loss, but also on helping people live healthy and stay healthy. A healthy weight and regular exercise can help prevent a variety of health problems. In GLI, lifestyle coaches work with participants to find ways they can learn and maintain a healthier lifestyle. This varies from person to person and is a unique program.

Practice assistants in Bonaire’s general practice clinics will have a role in referrals to the GLI. They can refer overweight or obese adults to the GLI if it is appropriate for the individual’s circumstances. The practice assistants in Bonaire received training on 5, 6 and 10 June. In the training, the practice nurses learned how to have a motivational conversation with an overweight or obese person about their lifestyle and how to help them get the right support and care. JOGG delivered the training in Bonaire alongside the GLI implementers. Participants will receive a certificate.
In recent years, parties on Bonaire have experimented with the GLI through pilots. Based on these experiences, we have made a number of adjustments to make the GLI more suitable for Bonaire.
