As part of developing pupil well-being (Health Promoting Schools), Active Schools and parental involvement, we have linked in with parenting plus new pilot programme - healthy families.
Parents Plus Healthy Families Programme
We are delighted to announce that the Department of Children and Youth Affairs has awarded Parents Plus funding to develop a new Healthy Families programme aimed at improving the health and well-being of children, young people and their families in local communities and nationally.
The focus of Healthy Families programme is to support and empower parents to make positive lifestyle changes within their families, by adopting a series of healthy habits in areas such as mealtimes, healthy eating, screen time, sleep routines, playtime and activity.
The programme will be delivered via the Parents Plus ‘train the trainer’ model throughout Ireland and particularly to disadvantaged and hard to reach communities. The goal is to improve outcomes for children and parents by preventing childhood obesity and increasing positive family communication and wellbeing
They are going to run a FREE parent workshop on Tuesday 23rd October from 9am to 11am in the hall. We hope you can make it!
