Talk Health with the University of Maryland School of Nursing

Healthy Eating for Kids

New this fall! Come to the Talk Health's information table after Ready 2 Read Storytime where children and their caregivers will find education, resources, and hands-on activities about ways to encourage healthy eating.

Under the supervision of Registered Nurses (RNs), University of Maryland School of Nursing students will conduct free weekly health screenings, referrals, health education, and classes on a variety of topics, including stress reduction, healthy eating and nutrition, managing chronic illness, and low impact exercises. Open to all library participants and community members.

Nursing students can assist with:

• General health screenings
• Medication education
• Linking to healthcare services
• Primary Care Referrals
• Health education and promotion

Students cannot assist with first aid, wound care, emergency services, diagnosis of illness, or vaccinations.

Talk Health is a collaboration between Prince George's County Memorial Library System and the University of Maryland School of Nursing.
