Healthy Weight and Your Child empowers children 7-13 years old, with the support of their families, to reach a healthy weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Through the leadership of the Y staff, the four-month long, evidence-based program engages the family together, so they can understand how the home environment and other factors influence the choices the lead to a healthy weight.
