Melissa Pozarowski
This workshop includes 4 areas with a focus on self-esteem issues related to obesity, sexuality, and body image in pre-adolescent children. Presenters will explain, demonstrate, and discuss:
- Self-esteem issues in the pre-adolescent need to be addressed utilizing an age appropriate curriculum. Addressing issues prior to teen years creates more awareness. This program provides methods to manage their psychosocial "battles."
- What is Diabetes: This 2-part program engages children in a hands-on learning session about the types of diabetes and prevention techniques for Type 2 diabetes. Each child receives a glucose meter, checks their blood sugar, and is given a 3-day assignment to engage a family member in testing blood sugars.
- "The Evil Diana Betes" is an educational play providing an interactive dialogue that engages school-aged children in learning about diabetes. Older children present this peer-based teaching to younger children. Be prepared for fun, creativity, and culturally relevant learning!
- Case studies: a) Diabetes Prevention; b) Youth Sexuality, Hygiene, Body Image.
