It's Nutrition and Hydration Week! This annual event highlights the importance of proper nutrition and hydration in promoting overall health and wellbeing. At Flourish, we're proud be celebrating Nutrition and hydration week. Highlighting how our resources and training can support schools, foster carers, adoptive parents, social workers, and anyone caring for children in their journey towards better health.
Our aim is simple yet profound. We want to empower people working in education and children's services settings with the knowledge and resources they need to create nurturing environments where children can thrive. We understand the critical role that nutrition and hydration play in supporting physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Especially for vulnerable children who may have unique needs and challenges.

Training Course for Foster Parents
During Nutrition and Hydration Week, we want to emphasise the critical role of proper nutrition in the lives of children in care. Children and young people who enter foster care often have poor nutritional status and food anxieties. This stems from early experiences of abuse or neglect. To address these challenges, we offer a specialised training course, 'Food, Nutrition & Associated Behaviours.' The course is specifically designed for foster carers.
This course delves into understanding the impact of past traumas on food-related behaviours, identifying signs of food anxieties, and developing strategies to promote healthy eating habits. Access our ‘Food, Nutrition & Associated Behaviours’ course.
