| Reclaim: Your Food, Your Health, Your Community | |||||
|
We are passing on to our children a legacy of food-related illnesses and other health disparities that are a result of policies that make it easier for low quality food to be sold in our neighborhoods, mixed media messages about food and health, and our individual relationship with food. Let us reclaim our foodways by returning to a lifestyle that connects us to the land, to real food, and to each other. Honeybee Wellness works with community based organizations to create programs that integrate health, nutrition, cooking, physical activity, and the environment. Programs are offered April through November. If you are an individual interested in similar programs, visit Melissa's Seasonal Wellness Club for upcoming workshops and events. |

Healthy people make healthy communities, and healthy habits need guidance and support. A community wellness program can be designed to address a specific health concern (e.g. asthma or or healthy weight loss), focus on a specific population (e.g., mothers or seniors) or promote health and wellness in general. Both offer an holistic approach to creating a healthy, balanced life. Community Wellness Programs incorporate elements of Community Food Education, and may also include: Community Wellness Days/Health Fairs Group Health Coaching Programs Community Walks Community Yoga Classes (donation-based classes) Investment: $250-2500 based on program length |
