I am excited about my health and fitness presentation, but have questions about my approach. For example, what word tactics should I use that are non-judgmental and deliver resolve for change? I do not want to use scared tactics for my families to want to change their lifestyle. However, I do want to inform them about some of the dangers of eating fatty foods and not doing some form of movement or exercise at least three times a week. Maybe instead of telling them what they are doing wrong I could encourage them to replace some of what they are doing with healthier alternatives?
I am seeking resource and information outside of the internet. I have looked in my local yellow pages for health and fitness programs for lower income families. Does anyone else know of any local programs that would support my cause? Does the YMCA have a good program? What about any private sectors?
I found these two resources on the internet very helpful and with a wealth of information. Some of the resources are: Advocates for health in Action http://www.initiative.org/category/community-resource-category/be-our-voice-health-care-providers-advocating-fight-childhood-o and Be Our Voice http://www.nichq.org/advocacy/shareyourstory/stories.html
