Heartbeat Education
HEARTBEAT EDUCATION SERVICE TO SCHOOLS AND ADULT CENTERS OR WORKPLACES
UPDATED 1st July 2008
Heartbeat runs an education programme in the Preston, South Ribble, Chorley, West Lancashire, Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre areas
Educational sessions are aimed at trying to reduce the 
prevalence of
heart disease through education. During the session people are given
information on the main causes of heart disease and how a healthy lifestyles can help to
reduce the risk of future heart problems. The benefits of healthy eating and the harmful
effects of smoking are highlighted. Controlling stress by identifying the 'stress situations' and
then learning how to deal with them so that the stress levels are reduced is
also an active part of the session.
Adult Groups and Schools are eligible to book sessions with Heartbeat. We feel that by giving people of all ages the information they need either at their place of work, school or in their leisure time will enable them to make the right lifestyle choices that will benefit them in the future. This service is provided free but we hope that those who use Heartbeat will help us in our costs.
