FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

At the conclusion of camp, we ask Wellspring California families to attend a two-day workshop presented by Wellspring's Clinical Staff.

Elements of the workshop include:

  • Parents receive self-monitoring journals, calorie counters, and pedometers. Parents set goals and commit to self-monitor and journal over the duration of the workshop. This helps them understand important elements of Wellspring's behavioral change program.
  • Workshop on science of weight gain and weight loss.
  • Family sessions with Wellspring and AOS clinicians.
  • Culinary and nutrition workshop.
  • The Workshop concludes with the development of a written plan that promotes a smooth transition from Wellspring California to home.
