You must help yourself before you can help someone else, and that’s what the annual Healthy Minds, Healthy Families Conference is about. Harris County Department of Education’s Head Start division hosts the event, bringing educators and families together with wellness advocates to share resources and strategies that strengthen mental health.
Parents, guardians and educators are invited to the conference scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 in the Irvington Conference Center. This year’s theme, “Leveling the Wellness Scale,” highlights the importance of finding balance in mental, emotional and physical well-being so individuals and families can thrive. The conference aligns with Head Start’s mission to provide comprehensive services to families that include health, education, financial and any other service deemed necessary for the family to be successful.
