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 health department 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 fall program will begin on September 8th and meet on Mondays from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. It will be held at the Worcester County Health Department, located at 6040 Public Landing Road, Snow Hill, Maryland. To register your family, please visit www.worcesterhealth.org or contact Lynn Suarez at 410-632-1100 ext. 1109.
