You will receive a comprehensive participant workbook full of practical information as well as emails between sessions to help you create healthy habits and routines.
How is Life! run?
You can choose between the Life! group course or telephone health coaching service. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, group courses sessions are currently run online.
Life! consists of seven sessions run across a 12-month period.
The introductory session (1 hour) is a one-on-one between you and your Life! facilitator. Your Life! facilitator will work with you to create health goals that are tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
