Story Behind the Curve

SUCCESSES:

  • The Pathway to a Healthy Lifestyle successfully recruited 252 potential participants
  • Pathway to a Healthy Lifestyle served 137 parents or 304% of the targeted 45 parents to be served. While serving 115 youth or 155% of the targeted 74 youth.
  • A total of 89 parents enrolled in the 8(8) monthly Parenting and Nutrition Classes
  • 79 Pathway to a Healthy Lifestyle parents have completed the 8(8) monthly Parenting and Nutrition Classes

CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES:

Challenges

  1. The number of families completing 8 or more nutritional / parenting classes did not reach target levels because (1) a small number of families were not able to attend (online) nutrition classes due to erratic work schedules which did not allow for attendance at all classes, and
  2. (2) many families did not attend as their primary services received were ESOL literacy and counselling support.

  Strategies to overcome these challenges:

  1. CAFE suggests a distinction be made between adults who attend ESOL programs and other parents/adults, who participate in the Health & Wellness, Nutrition and Community Gardening programs. Over the past several years since the ESOL program was implemented to sustain adults and families, most ESOL attendees have not participated in other CAFE programs, but their activities are not captured in separate surveys as is done for Nutrition, Food Insecurity and Gardening.

What Works

Data Discussion

In FY21 out of the total 252 participants served in the Pathways to Healthy Lifestyle, 48 parents in which enrolled and participated in the ESOL classes, are not required to attend or participate in the Community Garden.   As a result, the total 58% of the 79/137 completion measure is inaccurate, as it should be 88% of the sum of 79/89.
