Our Education team works SO hard! I am so excited to share that this week we debuted the Detroit PBS KIDS for Parent’s presentation of the Workshop for Well-Being. Our first session was The Food to Mood Connection and we hosted families and facilitators from Monroe ISD, New St. Paul and Brilliant Detroit. We had 36 people in attendance, and we are excited with what they had to say!
“This session was GREAT. I learned a lot from my group conversation. How to incorporate fruit with every meal.”
“Very informative! I enjoyed listening to you all…..and I've learned a lot more ideas on healthy snacks to eat ...”
“I love this and I learned great tips on eating healthier.”
“Thank you so much! I love the videos and breakout discussions. I will definitely take away some tips and remember the Gatorade on the plants example.”
Today, our very own Maria Martinez will be presenting this workshop in Spanish to our partners at Brilliant Detroit and Congress of Communities.
