There are lots of ways to learn more about improving your community and connecting with other families.  Here are just a few resources…

• The documentary series Unnatural Causes is a great way to learn about how social conditions impact health. Visit their website, or contact us to have a viewing and facilitated discussion brought to your organization.

• The Family Project is a great way for families to build upon their strengths and create lasting relationships with each other.  Growing Up Healthy is looking forward to bringing this project to Rice County.  Stay tuned for more information.

Here is a link to an essay written by one of our neighborhood leaders.  Ivan Ortiz used an assignment in his English class to examine his own views of the Latino community and Growing Up Healthy’s role in building connections.
