Welcome
Welcome to Council for Family Health Education (CFHE) a nonprofit, tax exempt educational organization. Our vision is “Creating A Different Kind of Happiness” by bringing families closer together while educating on the Importance of staying physically active.
Supporting Healthy Lifestyles for Families
Have you heard the adage "the family that plays together stays together?" Physically active parents raise physically active children. Combating the spread of obesity and its many secondary diseases like heart attacks and diabetes does not have to be drudgery, it can be an opportunity to reconnect and add quality time with loved ones.
The country is facing an epidemic of children becoming more sedentary leading to an increased population of overweight and obese young people. These sedentary and obese children are merely mimicking their parent’s behavior. 70% of school age children and their families watch 17 or more hours of Television each week. While only 25% report participating in regular daily physical activities.
