Building Healthy Families evening workshop (Formed Families Forward) (Region 4)

This is a completed event.

Description:

This workshop is about the importance of healthy lifestyle, nutrition and how to raise healthier children and healthier families. Research shows that to effectively impact the health of a child, change needs to begin at home with parents and caregivers. Our workshop focuses on how nutrition and lifestyle can effect a child’s cognitive development, behavior, and overall health.

A child’s health begins with the parents. In this modern day we all have busy lifestyles and often not enough time for little simple things that are so important. When parents and caregivers try to search for answers or help online, there is often such an abundance of information that it is easy to get lost and confused, not knowing which sources to trust. Based on this fact Dr. Sears Wellness Institute has developed the L.E.A.N approach to wellness, which focuses on educating the adults, and empowering them to make educated Lifestyle, Attitude, and Nutrition choices which can dramatically improve the health of the entire family.
