Brenner FIT Academy
Learn more about our Brenner FIT® Academy and how it can help your family.What is Brenner FIT Academy: For Families?
The Brenner FIT Academy: For Families is a group version of Brenner FIT. This program was created by the Brenner FIT team, part of Atrium Health Levine Children’s. Classes are led by a Brenner FIT-trained Family Support Specialist and Registered Dietitian. In this program, we guide your family toward lifestyle changes without using restrictive diets or strict exercise plans.
How do we become a Brenner FIT Academy family?
No referral is necessary. If you are concerned about your child’s weight or health (ages 2 to 18), your family may join the program. Most sessions are intended for adults only.
"Brenner FIT Academy provided me with helpful and very usable advice on planning and preparing meals and snacks so that my kids can develop a healthy relationship with food. The program provided several meal recipe ideas that have become new favorites."
- John O.
How much does it cost?
This program is absolutely free!
How long is the program?
The program lasts 6 weeks. The virtual classes are held on the same evening each week.
“Social media and family can make it feel like you're always doing something wrong, and this class gives you the framework for setting boundaries and allowing you to pick what works for you from a professional dietitian.”
- Nicole L.
How do I access this program virtually?
Classes will be offered virtually through Microsoft Teams. We recommend joining each session on a computer, but other devices (tablet or cell phone) may be used as well. Strong internet connection preferred.
What will we learn?
- How to raise kids who feel good about eating and their bodies
- Fun ways to be active together in a world on constant screens
- Ways to prepare affordable meals at home
- How to make changes together as a family that will last a lifetime
"Brenner FIT has been a great tool for our family. It is really nice to gather with a group of parents who share similar concerns and have discussions. The curriculum has reinforced a lot of what our pediatrician has told us in the past, but so much more in-depth than she was ever able to go. As a parent trying to break the cycle of disordered eating and unhealthy relationships with food, I would definitely recommend the Brenner FIT Academy to other parents!"
