Let's Move Faith and Communities Free Webinar

The Partnership Center News: A publication of the HHS Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships
Dear Partners,
We hope you can join Let’s Move Faith and Communities tomorrow – Thursday, September 12th – at 1 p.m. EDT for a webinar training on Media-Smart Youth®: Eat, Think and Be Active! To register for the webinar, click here.
Media-Smart Youth – part of the National Institutes of Health’s We Can! (Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition)® program – is an after-school program designed to help young people ages 11 to 13 understand the connections between media and health and to help youth build media analysis and production skills. The program uses nutrition and physical activity examples to help youth think critically about how media influences the choices they make.
In addition, each of the next two weeks, Let’s Move Faith and Communities invites you to join a webinar training on the Energize Our Families: Parent Program, also part of We Can! The Parent Program is a multiple-session curriculum designed to provide parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills they need, along with practical tools, to help families maintain a healthy weight. Specific topics include shopping for healthy food on a budget, controlling portion sizes, increasing physical activity in youth and reducing family screen time.
We Can! is a national education program designed to provide families, caregivers and communities the science-based tips, tools and strategies that they can use to help children eat right, move more and reduce screen time. These webinar trainings equip faith and community leaders like you to use We Can! materials and resources to help families help children lead healthier lives.
