The American Heart Association’s evidence-based community nutrition and well-being program Healthy for Life empowers people to make healthy food, nutrition and lifestyle choices and equip individuals with new skills for healthy living. Now included in the SNAP-Ed Toolkit, interactive features include healthy cooking demonstrations, shopping skills presentations and nutrition and heart health workshops. The program themes are Your Well-Being, Cooking Skills and Food, Grocery Shopping, Growing Healthy Habits, Globally Inspired Home Cooking and Gardening in Your Neighborhood.

A One-Stop Facilitator Hub hosts all of the information needed, such as an orientation, welcome toolkit and online community to get started. Detailed lesson plans, recipes and videos are also provided free to those that register. For facilitators, the resources will help prepare and promote the program, deliver the educational experiences and connect with other facilitators across the country through an online community. No experience is necessary. The educational experiences provide all necessary talking points and resources for facilitators, so a health background is not required.
