Meaningful participation in activity creates improved conditions where people with dementia will be able to improve their health and wellbeing.
Steps to Health
This project introduces group sessions for adults with learning disabilities in West Lothian. Each session will focus on a different aspect of health – from accessing GP services to sexual health and other relevant health issues. It is hoped this will provide participants a better level of knowledge about common health problems whilst increasing awareness of how to access services.
