Local students are invited to join health professionals in healthful, engaging activities designed to inspire and educate young minds.
“This event introduces kids to tools that support long-term physical and mental health,” said Angela Luskin, UP Health System - Portage community health coordinator. “With access to approachable, judgment-free wellness, kids are more likely to build trust, develop healthy habits and seek support when they need it.”
Heads UP has something for everyone, including hands-on activities, games, a recipe competition, team challenges and more. Each topic featured during the event highlights a variety of ways for attendees to experience healthful habits.
“We intentionally designed Heads UP to mirror what current research shows us about successful habit formation,” Copper Shores Community Health Educator Meghan Jaszczak, RD, said. “Habits should be tailored to our individual preferences, and ultimately need to be enjoyable to last!”
Heads UP is free to attend, registration closes Monday, July 20. Students must be registered by a parent or guardian using the form below. This event takes place outside, attendees are encouraged to wear layers and bring a water bottle.
