Healthy Acadia Initiative Encourages Making Time for Family Connection - Sign the DownEast Healthy Family Pledge TODAY for a Chance to Win!
Healthy Acadia’s Downeast Partnerships for Success initiative is excited to encourage more families to take the DownEast Healthy Family Pledge. This awareness campaign aims to encourage families to recommit to intentional time spent with the ones they love.
Spending time with loved ones helps us to feel connected. Quality time spent together helps to nurture creativity, improve self-esteem, promote self-expression, and support overall well-being.
Make a commitment to take time with the ones you love most. Together with your family, take The DownEast Healthy Family Pledge. Make a conscious effort to enjoy family meals, participate in outdoor activities, hold family game and craft nights, and cut down on family screen time. Everyone who signs the pledge now through May 2024 will have a chance to win some awesome prizes to encourage family time. You could win a toboggan, basketball, board game, and more.
Visit https://www.healthyacadia.org/family-pledge to complete and submit your Healthy Family Pledge form. While you’re there, print out a copy of their Family Time Activity Tracker. Post it on your fridge and use it to set weekly goals with your family and track your progress. It will also be a great reminder of your commitment to making time for each other.
For questions and to share your favorite family time photos, adventures, and activities that you would recommend to others, please email Sara McConnell at Sara@HealthyAcadia.org. You can also share your photos by tagging Healthy Acadia on your Facebook [@healthyacadia] and Instagram [@healthyacadiame] posts. Use the hashtag #DownEastFamilyPledge.
