How Does the Y.E.S. Program Work?
Y.E.S. is a comprehensive family-based program for overweight children that emphasizes healthful eating, physical activity, behavior modification, parental support, and coping strategies. After one-on-one assessments participants engage in ten group sessions. Parents' and children's groups are usually conducted separately. Children's sessions utilize games, activities, cooking demonstrations and group interaction to enhance learning and improve retention.
Additionally, upon completion of the initial ten weeks YE.S. participants can take advantage of monthly follow-up meetings and a variety of support materials.
