The Improving Health and Lifestyle Programme (iHeLP)
The Improving Health and Lifestyle Programme (iHeLP) is an evidence- and theory-informed secondary prevention intervention to support behaviour change and healthy lifestyle participation after stroke. Participants will complete a one-to-one interview (approximately 60 minutes) with the programme facilitator to establish health status and set personalised lifestyle goals. Participants then take part in six weekly group in-person sessions lasting approximately 2 hours each, with each intervention session consisting of six core components: skills training, education, physical activity participation, goal-setting, supported emotional self-regulation and peer learning.
