Faithful Families Eating Smart and Moving MoreThe Faithful Families Eating Smart and Moving More (FFESMM) program is a multi-level intervention that changes individual behavior, as well as practices and environments of faith communities in regards to healthy eating and physical activity. Resources for the program include a 9-session FFESMM curriculum and the Eating Smart and Moving More Planning Guide for Faith Communities. The FFESMM curriculum is co-taught by nutrition and physical activity educators and trained lay leaders from faith communities in small group sessions.

Center TRT, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Nutrition and Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases, has developed a process for reviewing, translating and disseminating interventions. This process is applied to obesity prevention interventions that have been tested through research studies or have been developed and evaluated in practice. Interventions are recommended by expert reviewers and CDC for dissemination. FFESMM is the first faith-based intervention to achieve this status.
