Teaching Skills
for Healthy & Independent Living.
Project HEART provides stimulating, person-centered
health education classes,
skills training and resource
information to people with
|
|
developmental disabilities and
those supporting them. Monthly training classes focus
on health related topics, such as cooking and nutrition,
exercising, personal hygiene, depression management,
relationships and problem solving.
|
The Project HEART philosophy is that each of us learns best by
doing and having fun at the same time. Each class is designed
for everyone to participate, not just sit and listen. Because
of the unique needs of each participant, we often modify
classroom information and activities to accommodate learning
styles and abilities. Participants learn, laugh and leave
wanting to come back again.
Interactive
Convenient Community Presentations
Project HEART works with class participants, local communities
and agencies to provide educational classes in convenient
locations and on convenient schedules to allow full opportunity
for participants to keep their work and social life schedules.
Project HEART will meet specific requests for class times and
locations when possible.
Project HEART has been fully funded by DDRB to continue monthly
class schedules in St. Charles County.

HEART is available to provide trainings in your local
