A County-wide Webinar: Obesity Prevention Strategy: Speaking with One VoiceA County-wide Obesity Prevention Strategy
Speaking with One Voice
Description
Behavior change is facilitated when adults hear a consistent message from numerous sources, in various formats. Santa Clara County, CA Public Health Department’s Childhood Feeding Collaborative used this principle to coordinate Satter’s Division of Responsibility-based child feeding guidance across multiple systems serving families with young children. This one-hour webinar, first presented by Carol Danaher and Ellyn Satter on October 13, 2012, relates how the Childhood Feeding Collaborative advanced the goal of county-wide consistency of message by creating partnerships, training opportunities and support for pediatric healthcare providers, public health program providers, community-based health educators, and child care providers. Learn the steps to success, the challenges and barriers. Program evaluation outcomes for parents and pediatricians will be shared.
