By providing nine sessions consisting of nutrition, meal preparation, food safety, and physical activity education, participants can make informed changes to their health behaviors and improve their overall health. Faith communities and organizations are important health advocates, and through Faithful Families, can support community health improvement and work to decrease health disparities.
