This toolkit gives community planners a one-stop shop of planning tools, reproducible materials, and curricula with dynamic activities for parents to encourage a healthy weight in their family. The toolkit offers a 6-course curriculum for parents on energy balance, nutrition activities to increase access and availability of healthy foods, increase physical activity, and reduce screen time. Community groups, health departments, park and recreation agencies can conduct local outreach and programming for parents, youth, and the community at large with the helpful tip sheets and assessment tools for working with local media, partners, and conducting community events to support the We Can! Program.
