Improving health & wellbeing by empowering people to make healthy choices
Health Trainers are a new workforce who have been recruited locally and they will have a stake in improving the health of their community. Initially working with people who suffer from health inequalities and have previously been hard to reach via other services.
Clients can spend between 4 to 6 sessions with a Health Trainer, the times and length of the programme can be flexible to suit individual needs. Meeting places are also flexible.
Health Trainers can provide
- Guidance and support in improving mental health and wellbeing
- One to one meetings
- Information on local fitness/leisure centres, free local activities and social events
- Information on healthier eating and exercise
- Referral to other agencies such as smoking cessation
- Support and accompany you to new places and groups
