Description

In the first year of the project, partners representing medical, social and emotional health fields, childhood development organizations, and other community organizations will participate in forums and roundtables to define an approach and specific topics to be addressed during a hands-on program for children and their families. The team will then develop, pilot, and launch programming for children and their caregivers catered to the needs of the jackson community identified through these preliminary discussions. The project aims to present a holistic view of healthy family living addressing: body systems; health and nutrition; physical habits, such as exercise, sleep, and hygiene; and social and emotional wellbeing. An external evaluator will help museum staff observe children and caregivers as they participate in the project activities to gather information, and to document progress using a variety of techniques.
