Participant Feedback

“[The video] was easy to follow and provided a lot of information.” (May 2025)

“Positive, friendly group environment with lots of good information.” (March 2025)

“I appreciated that: 1. handouts: can refer back to them; 2. the presentation covered broader concepts i.e. explanation of BMI; discussion of healthy weight concept; 3. opportunity provided to ask questions; 4. facilitators were sensitive to the concept that people come from different backgrounds; 5. focus was not on weight but wellness.” (January 2025)
