Subject: Nemours Releases Childhood Obesity Prevention Toolkit for Rural Communities
Good afternoon,
Nemours prepared a
Childhood Obesity Prevention Toolkit for Rural Communities that we would like to disseminate broadly. The toolkit provides a range of strategies and success stories to assist practitioners in child-serving sectors, including: early care and
education, schools, out-of-school time, community initiatives and healthcare. The profiled communities were able to leverage their unique rural resources and benefited from close community bonds to improve children’s health. The toolkit also includes policy
recommendations and an overview of the evaluation process. Please feel free to share the link with interested colleagues, networks, stakeholders and constituencies.
Should you choose to communicate about the toolkit through social media, here are some sample tweets:
