About Fresh Perspectives Workshops

Interactive nutrition education with guided discussions. Offered as a single session or a four-week series, workshops cover evidence-based education on topics like chronic disease prevention, diabetes management, hydration, and nutrient-dense diets for aging populations. Caregivers are welcome to participate and learn alongside older adults.

Every workshop is built to spark interaction, build relationships, and strengthen connections across generations. Expect questions, conversation and a few laughs, not a slideshow you sleep through.
