Family Health Forum – Healthy Eating for the Family
October 23 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Family Health Forums provide a space for parents, caregivers, and siblings of people with IDD to engage with health professionals, community leaders, and social service providers. The Forums introduce new families to Special Olympics and services provided through Healthy Athletes®, Young Athletes and other community-based programs for people with ID, while also surfacing challenges that athletes face and how best to overcome them—with a special focus on bettering access to health care, education, and inclusive activities.
The aim of this Forum on Healthy Eating for the Family is to share knowledge about nutrition, address challenges or concerns you may have and to provide you with strategies that will support healthy eating at home.
This Forum is divided into the following three topic areas:
1. Understanding what healthy eating means
2. Strategies for healthier meals at home
3. Action planning for greater access to healthy meals
