Potential Trainers

BodyWorks trainers may have varied backgrounds: health educators at state, community or health system level, schools nurses, Girl Scout leaders, work-site wellness program coordinators and others. An individual can be trained in a one-day session to implement this program and learn to train others to do the same. Very basic knowledge of nutrition and healthy living and a commitment to improving the health of families is the most important requirement.

The program cycle runs between two and four months, depending on your community's needs and availability. Once you've been trained, you can then

a) facilitate the BodyWorks program with parents/caregivers and
b) train other trainers.
