Weight Wise Workshop Facilitation

Non-Nutrition Workshops:

Nutrition Workshops:

The Alberta Health Services Adult Weight Management Nutrition Workshops are a provincial resource and part of a training program designed to support Registered Dietitians in providing consistent, evidence-based weight management nutrition messages to patients across the province. As such, the workshops are only available to be delivered by Registered Dietitians who are trained facilitators and are therefore not available for external use or facilitation by other healthcare providers.
