Child Obesity Awareness Training Seminar
Does your organisation come into contact with overweight and/or obese children and their families on a regular basis? Are you interested in finding out more about how to provide them with appropriate support? If so, MEND’s one day training seminar could be just what you need.
The stimulating and informative day includes
- a comprehensive overview of childhood obesity, including its assessment
- a discussion around national guidance on tackling obesity
- practical strategies to explore the issue with families, such as raising the issue of weight
- essentials of obesity management including guidance relating to nutrition, physical activity and behaviour change techniques
- a brief overview of current child obesity interventions including the MEND Programme
Our experienced trainers will come to your chosen location and up to 30 delegates can be accommodated on each course.
