Heart Foundation’s HAbD program gets training make-over

The Heart
Foundation has released a training resource to better acquaint planners, urban
designers, and elected officials with its Healthy Active by Design (HAbD)
program.

The HAbD
program is a guide to incorporating health and physical activity into built
environment design as well as an advocacy tool for improving community health
and wellbeing by considering planning for active living.

The
training resource offers an overview of the HAbD program which, when completed,
will enable participants to:

• Describe
  the evidence-based HAbD program  and  its offerings;
• Discuss
  the link  between health  and 
  planning;
• Identify
  ways to apply HAbDin their work and/or role; and
• Navigate
