Family Day was created by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA).  It is a national effort to promote parental engagement as a simple and effective way to reduce youth substance abuse and raise healthier children.  Family Day serves as a catalyst tohelp families make a change in their daily lifestyle and health choices

Research shows that families that eat together more often have children with:

• Less risk of drug, alcohol or tobacco use
• Lower suicide rates; less likely to have sex at young ages or be suspended from school
• Better school performance
• Better eating habits, less likely to be overweight
• Less likely to have eating disorders
• Stronger family bond and better family communication
• Improved vocabulary

We’re happy to report that Governor Easley has proclaimed the 22nd of September as Family Day in North Carolina.  We invite you to join us in the 3rd Annual Family Day in Catawba County by setting up an interactive booth display that will teach about family values, family resources, and health or human service topics.
