Introduction
- Midlife Facilitator Package
Award winning Midlife workshop
from Dietitians of Canada and Kraft Canada
Many women reach midlife and find themselves confused and frustrated
by unexpected physical and emotional changes. The Celebrating
Midlife Madness Workshop turns the bumpy road of change into
a journey of healthy, positive transformation and treats the
"madness" of midlife with a healthy dose of good humour
and self-empowerment.
The Celebrating Midlife Madness Workshop is designed to help
women understand and honour the changes they encounter during
midlife and menopause. Unexpected weight gain, changing nutritional
needs, and symptoms such as "hot flashes" are addressed,
as well as a number of issues including concerns and emotions
during midlife.
Throughout the four-hour workshop, the female participants develop
self-care action plans - personal goal setting journals to help
direct their path toward improved health and wellness. The journals
ask women to identify their concerns and the changes they want
to make in their lives. They also help women chart their current
eating habits to evaluate whether they provide the particular
nutrients, such as calcium, that women need during this stage
of their lives.
The
fun and informative workshops are delivered in a variety of settings
including wellness centers, workplaces and communities. Health
professionals from across Canada who are interested in facilitating
the program are equipped with workshop materials and a self-explanatory
facilitators package by HUGS International. |
