Weight management curriculum
Our Path to Good Health / Nuestro Camino a la Buena Salud: A curriculum to learn healthy weight management strategies and a guide to using them to promote health in your community.
This is a 200+ page guide for healthy weight management programs and launching a formal or informal health promoter program.
Our Path to Good Health includes:
• A comprehensive Program Guide for Program Administrators (English only). This portion discusses recruitment and management of the program, as well as the background on how it was developed. It also discusses some of our results from our extensive evaluation of the project.
• A Classes Guide to orient and support the facilitators who will conduct the weight management classes (Spanish and English). This portion gives specific instructions to the facilitators on preparation for the classes.
• The curriculum of 20 Classes (Spanish and English) for future peer educators to learn and apply healthy weight management strategies. These classes are the foundation for a community weight management program in your community. As participants learn how to manage their own weight, they learn skills for helping others do the same.
** NOW AVAILABLE **
We at La Clínica del Cariño are pleased to provide you and your agency access to this comprehensive and detailed manual with the 20 class curriculum on reducing obesity.
We encourage health centers, community agencies, health departments and individuals to make a $250 donation to La Clinica del Cariño, which is a discounted rate for the manual. We also recognize that many communities lack the resources to pay the $250 to cover the cost of the manual.
Your donation will support collaborative initiatives to address the obesity epidemic in the communities La Clínica serves in Oregon and Washington.
Regardless of ability to pay, we want to enable all agencies and people to acquire the tools to effectively address the public health challenge of obesity in communities throughout this country, and beyond.
If your agency or you are able to make the donation, please click HERE.
To download the manual, please e-mail us about yourself by clicking HERE. This will help us to know which other agencies are concerned about addressing obesity in their communities. This information will not be shared with any other agency.
