Biosafety organizes group nutrition counseling sessions. Group sessions appear to be more effective than individual sessions in long-term weight management because of:
- support from the team
- problem solving
- increased empathy
- taking responsibility
- the presence of others who may act as role models

Frequency: Weekly
Number of sessions: 10

During the sessions:
- goal setting, tracking & discussing progress
