Standardized Prenatal Education Program: Parts 1 through 5

This program is brought to you by the Healthy Eating Team of the Northern Healthy Community Partnerships, and is aimed at achieving one of their goals which is to standardize prenatal education in northern Saskatchewan. The program offers a 5 Part series including power point presentations, educational videos and group activities (see Grab Bag Activities resource). The resources provided are meant for use by professionals providing education to mothers-to-be and are based on up-to-date and evidence based information provided by the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute’s “Your Pregnancy Month by Month”. They incorporate interactive learning activities and are made to be used in prenatal classes, small groups or one-on-one educational sessions all across northern Saskatchewan.

Growing Up... Time for an Open Cup Pamphlet

This pamphlet shares information about how and why to teach infants to drink from an open cup at 6 months of age. Drinking from an open beginning at 6 months helps infants with speech development, achieving a healthy weight and reduces the likelihood of cavities. Learning to drink with water helps infants develop health eating patterns and makes for easy clean up as they learn and spill.
