Description

Childhood obesity is a top-of-mind issue for anyone who works with children. While public and governmental agencies are strategizing, viable treatment and prevention programs at the community and health club levels may be the solution. This video will explore ideas for community outreach and collaborative work at the local level to address this critical problem with a bottom-up approach.
