E.N.G.A.A.G.E.
Walk and Talk Program
This project will engage women and their extended families by providing tools and resources to confidently make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves and their families. The project will be delivered through cultural centers or faith based organizations within the community. It is hoped that this project creates shared experiences across neighborhoods and cultures where we can learn from one another and work to build social empathy and understanding that will create healthy environments for all families.
Each week will focus on a different healthy lifestyle behavior e.g. preventive screening, increasing fruits and vegetables, tracking and monitoring steps/minutes of exercise, stress management, etc.
