Raising Healthy Families

Raising Healthy Families teaches parents and guardians of children how to engage the entire family in eating healthy foods and participating in physical activity. Leading healthy lifestyles reduces the risk of becoming overweight and improves overall health.

Classes meet once a week for six weeks. Each class is approximately an hour and a half and includes activities on nutrition and physical activity. Topics covered include:

• Obesity Prevention
• Grocery Shopping
• Preparing Healthy Foods
• Understanding Portion Size vs. Serving Size
• Planning for Physical Activity
• Engaging the Entire Family

Upon completion of the program, participants receive a certificate stating they have successfully completed the Raising Healthy Families program. Childcare is not provided.
