Think Healthy - new middle school health education materials about exercise

15 years 9 months ago #147689 by jwendel
Think Healthy!

Think Healthy! is a program bringing children and their families simple, kid-friendly information on the connection between exercise and feeling good.

Think Healthy! Middle School Brochure
Tri-panel brochures illustrate the cyclical nature of healthy activity and mental well-being in an accessible and age-appropriate way. This continuum of exercise and feeling better about oneself allows children to improve both their mental and physical well being. Brochures are available in both English and Spanish.

Think Healthy! Caregiver Brochure
Tri-panel companion brochures emphasize a caregiver’s role in promoting physical and mental health in children. The pieces encourage adults to act as a role model for the children they care for by choosing a healthy diet and appropriate portion sizes.

CHF Health Education Materials
CHF produces low-literacy, culturally relevant health education materials. Elementary school materials test at or below 1st grade reading level, and middle school materials test at or below 5th grade reading level. All materials are produced in accordance with low-literacy design conventions. Materials are reviewed by a medical anthropologist for cross-cultural appropriateness and an exercise physiologist for safety.
