previous knowledge or skill level. Participants do not have to be overweight/obese to
participate in sessions.

HT Facilitators: Staff members who are identified by the partner organizations, trained to
implement the HT program and directly involved in HT program delivery will be eligible to
participate in the evaluation.

director (supervisor) that has administrative responsibility for overseeing the delivery of
services for children/families that includes the HT program.
