National Family Meals Month!

The Healthy KP Substance Use and Prevention Coalition ( serving Wrentham, Plainville & Norfolk) encourages families to recognize that September is “National Family Meals Month”.

Research shows that families who regularly dine together enjoy many healthy, social, and emotional benefits, such as higher academic performance, resilience, and positive self-esteem; as well as lower rates of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and some metal health concerns.

Giving thanks before or after meals is a great Catholic tradition! Consider saying what you are especially thankful for at your meals today!
