Health Trainer Service
The Zest Health Trainers Programme is a free and confidential service that can support people on a one to one basis, around changing or leading a healthy lifestyle. Health Trainers also support people living with long term conditions (chronic pain & diabetes type 2).
Health Trainers can support you over a 6-7 week period to set health goals around your health needs. The goals can be healthy eating, weight loss or increase in physical activity, referral to stop smoking, alcohol reduction, and signposting to other services, social isolation, low mood and more. Health Trainers will support you to develop a Personal Health Plan, which will help you to achieve your new health goal.
Health Trainers are friendly, understanding & supportive. They will help and encourage you to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. So why wait?
