 If life feels overwhelming and decisions are hard to make, get a piece of paper and a pen and make a list. Write down the pros, the cons, what you want, how you could get there and who could help you achieve your goals.

My top Tip

Get savvy with food labels – knowing what is in the food you eat can really change your opinion on what you buy and consume! Not confident? Contact our team!

Denis

I have been with St Helens Wellbeing Service in the role of Health Trainer for almost 2 years. Prior to this I worked in customer facing roles in housing, financial services and social services. This previous experience ensures I provide clients with an individual and client centred service.    

The best part of the job

I enjoy working within the community and meeting a broad range of clients. Each client is individual and I like listening to the clients when we meet so we can together identify and build the best plan to support their personal health and wellbeing goals.

My top Tip

Good health is about the mind as well as the body. Staying in good health is important to all members of the community as is learning how to take care of yourself physically and mentally. The Health check team will help support you in identifying local resources and services that can support you in meeting your goals. We also support you in developing your personalised health plan and motivate and support you over a 12 month period.

Going for a walk everyday will not only keep you fit but will also help with your mental health and well being.
