🏥 Expert Check on Trend Claims

Small groups test their draft wellness messages with the registered dietitian or youth mental health counselor through a live visit, station rotation, or recorded response protocol. Students present one claim about what helps seventh graders feel, focus, and function, along with class pattern data and one vetted source, then ask for feedback on scientific accuracy, age relevance, and clarity. Groups also note whether their advice connects to environmental choices such as packaged drinks, food waste, or resource use.
