Nutrition Education

Page Content

​Nutrition education is available to all WIC participants and family members.

 

The goals of nutrition education are:

 
     To achieve a positive change in eating habits related to the participant's nutrition risks;
 
     To teach the relationship between proper nutrition and good health;
 
     To promote the optimal use of WIC supplemental foods and other nutritious foods; and
 
     To provide nutrition education within the context of the ethnic and cultural preferences.
 
 

Online Nutrition Education Classes:

 

WIC participants may take Online Nutrition Education.  Internet education may not be used in place of individual counseling at the certification visit or with high risk priority clients.
