Por La Vida Health and Nutrition Classes

Por La Vida

Por La Vida is a health promotion program whose mission is to strengthen and promote health and well being within the Latino community. Por La Vida trains Montclair Latina women to become “consejeras”. These consejeras present the health information through a social network to share their knowledge. Additionally, through this social network, domestic violence prevention and intervention programs for at-risk undeserved women are established. A Healthy Lifestyle program established through the Nutrition Network is an expansion of Por La Vida that encourages health eating and physically active lifestyle choices.
