Total time for the section "Talking Through Tough Questions": 30-45 minutes

Introduction: Part of learning how to promote Food Dignity® is being willing to engage with challenging questions. In this module the Food Dignity® Institute encourages you to reflect on questions you may have about individuals, families, and communities experiencing hidden hunger. It is purposed to be a shorter module that can even be used to support other Food Dignity® training sessions you may be a part of. 
 
Course Components:
  • 5-10 minute Food Dignity® podcasts with our founder Clancy Harrison as she engages in tough questions she receives on the keynote speaking stage. 
  • A group or individual learning activity about exploring Clancy's process of addressing hard questions. 

During the course, you will: 
  • Recognize that individuals often have unspoken questions about challenging topics, in particular those that carry stigma.
  • Learn how to ask those questions honestly and with respect.

Learning Objective
  • Write a question that you have about food insecurity.
  • Practice responding to another person’s question about food insecurity.
  • Practice asking “why” not just “what” or “how much.”
