Family Health Institute Childhood Weight Management Program

is now at the Troy Community Center

 

(TROY, MI) – The Family Health Institute Childhood Weight Management Program is now at the Troy Community Center.  This nine-topic weight management program is designed for children ages 5-14 and their families. The program is intended to increase awareness of eating habits and create healthy lifestyle changes. There are no diets, pills or special foods to buy. Old behaviors will soon be replaced with new healthy habits.

 

The behavioral education program meets once per week and is followed by a weekly maintenance program. Parents and children learn about nutrition (healthy eating), exercise (fitness fun) and self esteem (building a positive self-image). The children are taught in a relaxed classroom setting and participate in exercise (organized play) in a gym. Parents are instructed in a separate classroom.

 

The Program is designed and facilitated by Keith Levick, Ph.D, and Paul Ehrmann, DO. Combined, Drs. Ehrmann and Levick have more than 20 years of experience treating overweight children and families.
