Focus Areas: Instructional Design & Delivery

The Work

Embody Lib designed and facilitated a series of learning experiences to build the capacity of CalFresh Health Living (CFHL) implementers to more effectively engage participants across diverse identities and lived experiences. The goal was to support nutrition educators in creating program environments where participants experience inclusion, belonging, and dignity.

The learning series explored how social identities, implicit bias, and organizational practices influence health and well-being, while offering practical strategies for culturally competent and culturally responsive nutrition education.
