Welcome
The Council for Family Health Education (CFHE) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, tax exempt educational organization. Whose vision is to educate on the importance of a healthy active lifestyle.
Supporting Healthy Lifestyle
Americans have become increasingly sedentary over the past 20 years. Sedentary lifestyle choices have led to an overweight and obese population. Children have been caught in the middle, by mimicking their parent’s lifestyle behaviors; like excessive television viewing, over consumption of processed foods and a lack of physical activity.
With obesity reaching epidemic proportions, the medical industry is experiencing a surge in diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, cardiac disease, liver damage and lower back problems in younger and younger Americans.
Supporting healthy lifestyle choices is a challenge with places like neighborhood parks, school programs and community centers operating under budgetary restraints which limit their abilities to provide physical activity programs or basic equipment for participants in need.
