YMCA Weight Loss Program funded to support American Indian and Alaskan Native Community Members

This session is designated specifically for community members who identify as American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native American or Indigenous. It is fully funded through the Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Inequities initiative. Class will be facilitated by a Native Lifestyle Coach.

The 12-week, Y Weight Loss Program is designed to help people seeking a healthier weight achieve their goals by making small, modest changes to their daily behaviors, and forming sustainable habits. Each week participants will weigh in, be introduced to a new topic relevant to weight loss, discuss as a group successes/challenges/suggestions around the weekly topic, and develop goals for the upcoming week. Topics covered during the program include: nutrition, physical activity, stress and sleep, positive psychology, goal setting and sustainability.

Funding provided through the Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Inequities grant supports delivery of this program, free of charge, to members of the American Indian and Alaskan Native community.
