Goal
To help children and teens aged 6 -17 years old and their families make healthy lifestyle choices to ensure a healthy weight and habits for their lifetime.

Expectation
A commitment from the child, plus parents and caregivers involved in the child’s environment, to try to adopt healthier lifestyle choices and habits.

Services
We offer a variety of services depending on what you and your family need most. There are 3 choices and you are welcome to enroll for one, two, or all three types of visits. We currently have virtual options available.

1. An individualized visit with each of our multi-disciplinary team members who will help build, guide and support a healthy lifestyle through discussing specific changes you and your family can make in different aspects of your health. This currently can be done in person (assuming no illness/Covid symptoms) or virtually through video visits.
2. Group monthly activity class: every 4th Tuesday we offer a 75-90 min class with 20-25 min of physical activity, 5 minutes of mindfulness and meditation, then a 30-40 min class on topic noted on calendar. These are fun, interactive, and help your child or teen learn in a group setting. These are currently all virtual by Web-Ex. Advance registration required.
3. Healthy Cooking class: every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 4:00-5:30, we offer a fun, hands on cooking class for kids and teens (parents need to be around to supervise). These are currently held virtually by Web-Ex. We encourage kids/teens/families to cook along with the class so they have a meal ready at the end! Advanced registration required.
