| Impact Report | LIFEWORK LEARNING Young parents receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families attending Lifework Learning, a non-profit organization where career related knowledge, abilities and attitudes are obtained for success in the workforce, whose education is lacking in parenting, food safety and nutrition. The Home Economist collaborates with and teaches hour and a half monthly classes to different participants each month coinciding with the Lifework Learning curriculum. In the 2009 program year four classes pertaining to parenting, nutrition and food safety were taught. The parenting classes were carried out using The Strengthening Families Initiative curriculum. Through these classes approximately thirty-eight parents learned to communicate feelings and how to praise children and their behavior. They also gained basic food safety knowledge, healthy snack ideas, serving sizes, and MyPyramid basics. At least seventy percent of the participants said they would be taking the information and skills learned and applying it within their family’s household. |
