About the program
The Adult Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) program offers bilingual workshops on nutrition and physical activity through the Chinatown Public Health Center.
It aims to help families to stay at a healthy weight through:
- Better food choices
- More physical activity
- Less screen time
Our focus is to have the whole family involved in learning and adopting healthy eating and living an active lifestyle.
The workshop series includes modeling healthy eating and active living skills for parents and caregivers through:
- small group discussions
- interactive games
- food tasting
- physical activity
