Snow Hill, MD -  Bring your family closer while adopting a healthier, happier lifestyle with Healthy Worcester Families (Strengthening Families Program).

The Worcester County Health Department’s 9-week program combines fun activities, meaningful learning, and quality family time-all aimed at improving communication, building healthier habits, and strengthening your bond. The program invites families with youth ages 7-17 to attend together, engaging in hands-on activities and group discussions that promote better connections and healthier living. 

Healthy Worcester Families offers a free family dinner at the start of each weekly session. Every week, families will explore topics such as communication skills, healthy behaviors, and financial literacy, to help strengthen their family connections. Families have the opportunity to receive prizes and other incentives throughout the program.

As a result of participating in this program, past participants said their families would continue to "Grow and improve communication and respect for each other.", and "Not make food a subject of a power struggle. Offer healthy options and encourage good choices."

The summer session begins Wednesday, July 2nd, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at Bayside Community Church (206 5th Street, Pocomoke City, MD 21851). To register your family, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HWFJul25 or call Lynn Suarez at 410-632-1100 ext.1109.
