Worksite Wellness

[Ruhs, Barbara]

Hi Cindy,
The Texas Department of Health has a nice website for Worksite Wellness -
you may be able to 
get some ideas from the information they provide.  
I'm sure you're familiar with California's (but just in case) 
"Project LEAN" (Leaders Encouraging Activity & Nutrition) which 
has a variety of goodies and nutrition education resources.

Take a look! 
-Texas Worksite Wellness:  http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/wellness/default.htm
-Project LEAN web:  http://206.86.69.253/
Other Ideas:
-ADA's Nutrition Education for the Public (NEP) DPG:
http://www.dietetics.com/nepdpg/
-University of Nebraska's Cooperative Extension/Alice Henneman's "Cook it
Quick":  http://www.ianr.unl.edu/ianr/lanco/family/ciq.htm
-Food and Health Communications: http://www.foodandhealth.com/

I'm excited to see what others offer - please share! Thanks & Good luck!

I am a Dietitian working for the County of Los Angeles Nutrition Program.  I
have been requested to help create teaching materials for  a Worksite
Wellness program at the county for employees.  Do any of you know of any: 
1: good resources (books, websites etc) regarding teaching nutrition
including lesson plans, handouts etc to employees with a wide variety of
professions 

2: any resources about starting a worksite wellness program?  Any
information would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
