Date: 2020-10-08

SBHCs provide an ideal setting for obesity prevention and intervention, yet helping our most vulnerable youth achieve sustainable behavior change can seem like an insurmountable challenge. Explore the impact of chronic stress on weight and metabolic health in youth, and its potential influence on behavior change. Also covered are interdisciplinary approaches we have begun to implement, including a health at every size model, that integrate social needs support with behavioral and medical health to provide holistic and trauma-informed obesity management.
