about the program

This is an opportunity to enhance our participants physical, mental, and emotional well-being. More than just focusing on physical fitness, we also equip participants with valuable nutritional and mental health insights.

Personal Training

Our program offers a unique opportunity for participants to work with a certified personal trainer twice weekly over a period of eight weeks. This program is designed to guide and motivate individuals on their fitness journey, providing expert support and tailored guidance to achieve their health goals.​

Nutritional Education

In collaboration with qualified dietitians, DBNR hosts educational seminars focused on nutrition. These sessions are geared towards helping participants develop healthier eating habits, providing valuable insights and practical advice for making better dietary choices.

 

Mental Health Support

We have teamed up with Rise Up Mental Health Services, as we aim to dismantle the obstacles faced in accessing mental health support for individuals with disabilities. Our collaborative effort focuses on providing comprehensive and sensitive care to address the unique mental health needs of this community.

Community

DBNR has proudly supported a substantial number of individuals, embracing each member as family. We offer access to a variety of outdoor social events and numerous other engaging opportunities, fostering a strong, inclusive community spirit.
