About
HUGS:
HUGS

It is Health
focused, centered on Understanding
lifestyle behaviors, Group

HUGS offers programs and workshops for adults and teens based
on the publication of three lifestyle books:

*Tailoring
Your Tastes
These resources are marketed to clients in various settings of
hospitals, health centers, workplaces, communities, private counseling
and schools.
About
HUGS Programs:
*The
Adult
Program focuses on health, nourishing eating and activity
patterns, and self-acceptance rather than dieting and weight
loss.
*The
Adult Online
Program is the perfect alternative if you are facilitating
the HUGS Adult Program but currently are not able to service
your clients, or where resourses are limited to few clients.
The Online Program delivers the same high quality instruction
provided by our facilitators, but is available online 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. Lessons and participant feedback conveniently
arrives in your e-mail box.
*The Teen
Program is designed to instill confidence for personal
decisions on health, energy and emotional needs.
*The Taste
Training Workshop explores taste, creating an awareness
of the interplay of food taste, texture, appearance and how our
body responds.
*The Midlife
Workshop helps women embrace guilt free self-caring and
to consider menopause as a life empowerment opportunity.
HUGS programs and workshops are licensed to health professional
facilitators throughout the United States and Canada as well
as internationally. If you are looking for proven non diet programs
and counseling resources, you will find a great array of choice
to meet your needs. With HUGS you join a growing network of over
200 facilitators, like minded individuals to help support and

About
Facilitators & Support Group Leaders:
Facilitators
are lifestyle professionals which can include dietitians, nurses,
health workers,
therapists, fitness professionals or other professions with a
health background. A professional background with an interest
in nondiet, qualifies an individual to deliver HUGS.
The facilitator
packages we offer are self training. The packages are
very comprehensive and continuous surveying report facilitators
satisfied with the skills and confidence, gained from these materials,
in offering clients a nondiet approach to developing a healthier
lifestyle. In addition HUGS offers home study continuing education
courses. An internet forum for networking with other professionals
delivering HUGS also supports the training of facilitators.
Support Group Leaders are individuals with an interest in bringing
an alternative to dieting to their community by leading peer
led support groups. Certification by HUGS is obtained by completing
the HUGS Adult
Online Program. Once certified, you can begin leading
you support group with "Staying Off the Diet Roller
Coaster"
, "Tailoring your Tastes" and HUGS handout booklet as the guide.
This is appropriate for individuals interested in running small
support groups where there is no current facilitator in the area.
As a HUGS Support Group Leader, you will have the advantage of
an online
forum to support your offering of an alternative to dieting
in your community.
