Want something fun to do with your children that will also benefit their mental health?

 

Starting July 13th from 1-3pm, Family Health Care in Big Rapids is offering a free program called Magic Happens Outdoors which is a walking program that involves crafts and guest speakers from Marine Biology to Dive Team and more. 

 

Officials from Family Health Care say this program will offer a chance for children ages 8-12, to enjoy some fun summer outdoor activities, all while learning healthy coping skills for anxiety, stress and other mental health issues that may affect them.

 

The free program will take place at Big Rapids Middle School and along the River Walk.

 

Officials say attendees will be provided with snacks and drinks during program times. Attendees will also be given a backpack from Family Health Care with school supplies and more.
