Growing Healthy Families Foundation
Our Vision...
All children have the opportunity
to develop into healthy, productive
and caring members of their community
Supporting Parents....The importance of parents as role models profoundly affects virtually every aspect of a child's development. Our goal is to assist parents in developing more effective parenting skills that engage all aspects of a child's development - social, emotional, physical and cognitive. Our programs include interactive parent/child workshops, topical symposiums and the creation and dissemination of cirricula, materials or tools that promote successful parenting skills. GHFF will promote environments that support learning and participation for all children and actively respond to the diversity of families in their communities.
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Families....Wellness is a state of healthy living and well-being achieved by fostering healthier behaviors through awareness, education and the removal of personal and societal barriers. GHFF promotes the active pursuit of good health by equipping families with information and programs designed to encourage better nutrition and improve exercise habits, in addition to accessibility to medical screenings. The rewards of sustaining healthy families will extend far beyond our communities and impact the nation as a whole.
The GHFF team is comprised of leaders of various areas of expertise and strengths
who come together to fulfill the mission of the Foundation.
