The Gather New Haven Farm Based Wellness Program is an intensive lifestyle intervention 16-week summer program that supports participants in achieving their nutrition and physical activity related goals by meeting on a local urban farm within New Haven once a week for two hours from 5:30pm-7:30pm. We engage in urban farming activities, we engage in group physical activities, we do a 10 minute mindful meditation and then move onto a nutrition discussion and a cooking demonstration which includes vegetables that participants are given to take home with them each week. On-site childcare is provided for participants with children. We also offer an additional Saturday session focused on physical activities from 9:30am-11am. The program is free, no cost to join.
The program aims to recruit participants that have any diet-related disease (prediabetes, diabetes type 2, excess weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc) and is looking to make healthy lifestyle changes within the New Haven area. See flyer below for more details...
