“I am inspired to go back and try some change strategies. Lots of good ideas & resources- GREAT!”

HEAR the message – Hear current key concepts and best practice standards from those that set the stage for kids’ health such as CDC, Institute of Medicine, USDA, and American Academy of Pediatrics.
SEE the message – See ideas for displays, bulletin board ideas, and visuals to teach nutrition and activity concepts in fun ways, all a part of a HKC workshop or training.
DO or practice the message – Test the ideas, get up and move, try out a tasty snack activity for the workshop break, and experience how simple and easy it is to integrate healthy eating and physical activity messages into existing curriculum and programming for kids!

What do you get with HKC workshops and trainings?
Never a canned presentation! Always developed specifically for the audience’s needs! Ever present with laughter, warmth, real life stories, and current healthy message concepts.

Half-day Workshops
Half-day workshops offer time for participants to really HEAR, SEE, and DO (practice) a healthy eating and physical activity message. The best way to learn is by DOING!

Full-day Training Sessions
Onsite KidLink™ trainings are offered as a more intensive and invaluable means of assisting groups with building and sustaining a healthy change initiative. The full-day training sessions are complete with “how to” tips, and problem solving ideas.

Keynote Presentations
Vickie’s keynote presentations at conferences are ideal for an energized opening to any meeting or a hang on to your seat closing. You never know who just might pop in to help Vickie share healthy messages with her audience!
