 The Research Coordinator at the District’s Population Health Research and Evaluation Hub Erin Kerr won $43,100 for her pitch, ‘Co-designing and co-facilitating online early childhood nutrition workshops for culturally and linguistically diverse families.’ Under the project, the District’s Healthy Beginnings and Connecting the Dots teams will partner with the Cultural Support Program to adapt, develop, and translate parenting workshops with Arabic and Mongolian communities and co-facilitate workshops with cultural support workers. "This money will help our project reach more families from culturally and linguistically diverse [backgrounds], empower these families and make them feel more trust in the services we provide and connect them to community services,” Erin said.
