NIRCO is excited to announce a special event focused on fostering wellness among our youth—Youth & Family Strategies to Wellness—taking place on Thursday, September 12th, from 12-2 PM at the NIRCO Hub. This event is designed for families, educators, and community members who are committed to promoting healthier lives for our youth.


At this pop-in event, we will discuss and gather feedback on our strategic plan to promote wellness among our youth. We’ll explore simple, yet effective ways for youth and families to work together, enhancing their well-being and overall quality of life.


What You Can Expect:

  • Family Education: Learn practical tips and strategies to strengthen family bonds and improve communication.

  • Youth Prevention: Discover approaches to help prevent issues before they start, promoting a healthier future for our young people.

  • Community Feedback: Your input is vital! We want to hear your thoughts on our strategies and how we can better serve our youth and families.

  • Light Refreshments: Enjoy light snacks and beverages as we engage in meaningful discussions.


Why It Matters

In today’s fast-paced world, our youth face numerous challenges that can impact their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. By coming together as a community, we can develop and implement strategies that will make a positive difference in their lives. This event is not just about sharing information; it’s about creating a collaborative environment where families and community members can work together to build a healthier future.


Join Us at the NIRCO Hub

We believe that strong families are the foundation of strong communities. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply care about the well-being of our youth, your presence and feedback are invaluable. Together, we can create a supportive environment that nurtures the health and wellness of our young people.
