These courses are an ideal way to discuss family related health topics in a friendly and supportive environment, as well as increasing parents knowledge and understanding around leading a healthy lifestyle and advice on making small, measurable changes to daily habits. Participants who attend the weekly sessions will receive a free HENRY toolkit.
