Healthy Families: Growing Up

Supporting families with children aged 5-12 years

At HENRY, we believe that a healthy, happy childhood doesn’t stop at the early years. As children grow, so do the challenges of parenting. 

The Healthy Families: Growing Up programme is designed specifically for parents and carers of children aged 5-12 years, offering practical tools, strategies and support to build healthy family routines, improve emotional well-being and create positive habits that last a lifetime.

 

What is Healthy Families: Growing Up?

This free, evidence-based programme provides parents with the skills and confidence to support their child’s health and development. Over 8 weekly sessions, families explore key topics around nutrition, physical activity, emotional well-being and parenting techniques — all in a friendly, supportive environment.
