Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Program for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities (HELP)
This introductory program consists of the first three modules – the first module is for the caregiver and the next two modules are to be done together by both the caregiver and the individual with DD: (1) Introduction – for the caregiver, (2) Healthy Lifestyle and Habits, and (3) Habits and Change.
Individuals with DD and their caregivers will also learn and practice mindfulness. Mindfulness, or being present, is simply paying attention to what is happening right now. What is happening inside of us -- our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. And paying attention to what is around us – what we see, what we hear, what we smell, what we taste, what we feel.
