TRC Residents Focus on Their Nutrition

As a part of the health & wellness component of supportive services, many residents have found their nutrition groups to be helpful in their everyday lives. From diet to exercise, the nutrition group features informational sessions that help residents start small with a dieting plan for beginners, grocery shopping for healthier items, managing diabetes & hypertension and more.   

Residents have found this 12-week curriculum incredibly helpful as they transition to a self-sufficient lifestyle. The nutrition group is popular among the residents, learning about nutrition and healthy eating has become a fun activity rather than a chore. In some classes, many of the residents learn to make recipes that are good for you and still taste delicious! 

Helping residents take back control of their health and wellness is crucial step in the road to self-sufficiency. As many of our residents have experienced homelessness or substance, it becomes even more critical to reeducate individuals on their health.
