Encouraging Healthy Lifestyles with Fun

One way to teach people to choose healthy choices is by serving fun, healthy foods. The Incredible Families program works with children with mental health issues and their families to teach a variety of life skills for long-term benefits.

In addition to emotional and social education, the program promotes good physical health lifestyle choices. Staff provide a healthy snack and dinner to program participants once a week during the family visitation meal. The children and their families have an opportunity to try out alternative choices for food, such as whole grains and natural ingredients.
