Program Description
Event Details
Research has confirmed that sharing a family meal is good for the physical, mental, emotional, and nutritional health and well-being of all family members.
Family dinners have been linked with lower rates of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and depression, as well as higher grade-point averages and self-esteem. Stories told around the dinner table build our children’s vocabulary and help develop resilience. Regular family meals also improve nutrition and lower the rates of obesity and eating disorders in children and adolescents.
Join CCE to schedule a community dinner that will provide a structured model to help families recognize the many benefits of family dinners, learn how to put best practices into action, and brainstorm together about overcoming common challenges. Meal included!
