Our Strategy is a fully integrated, cyclical program consisting of two components delivered over a one month period followed by a third component that is to be delivered over a course of one year.

The three program components are Awareness + Recognition, Education and Personal Assistance + Support, each being delivered by one of the different agencies encompassed by H.E.A.R.T.
