The purpose of the Cultural Conversations Friday e-mail blast is to provide various tidbits on Cultural and Linguistic Competence (CLC) activities, cultural discovery, interesting information about other cultures, how to be more culturally sensitive to others and updates on statistics and information that are relevant to the work the FAST TRAC system of care is doing with youth and families in Clermont County.

This Week's Cultural Conversation:

Weight bias and stigma are increasingly important issues for providers and parents dealing with childhood obesity. There are cultural factors as well that can make groups of people at higher risk for obesity, such as socioeconomic differences, food disparities, and lack of access to safe neighborhoods. Check out the following video from the Yale Rudd Center For Food Policy and Obesity and rate yourself on your weight biases.
