| Impact Report | The Super Fit Family Challenge is a collaborative effort in Albuquerque with the nutrition education teams from the Albuquerque Public Schools, The Seventh Day Adventist Church in Albuquerque and University of New Mexico pediatrics and dietitians working on childhood obesity issues, Albuquerque Community Centers and Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension urban 4H and Home Economics. The 8 week evening program is designed to reach families with children who are at risk of becoming or are obese with a message of healthy eating and activity for the entire family. The Home Economist has been a part of this effort since it began here in 2008. The fall of 2009 the SFFC was held at the ABQ Jewish Community Center in the far north east heights with 5 families completing course and at Martinez Town Community Center in the spring of 2010 with 11 families participating in the program. The Home Economist provided lessons for the parents; Feeding your Family Healthy on a Budget and Meal Planning as well as helping the urban 4H agent children’s cooking lessons. The Home Economist meets regularly with the planning group and has often contacted ACES personnel who have offered this program in Las Cruces. |
