Over on the FaithAction site, we’ve gathered some feedback from learners on our Creative English for Health programmes and explore what makes these programmes successful.
With increased health literacy, we’ve found that people often choose to make lifestyle changes that improve their outcomes. In our recent Barking and Dagenham programme, tailored to address common health issues in the borough, we found that as well as improving their confidence speaking English, 89% of those who completed the programme made lifestyle changes as a result. But having the information doesn’t necessarily result in behaviour change, so how does this work in Creative English for Health and how is our approach different?
