Healthy Families of Oneida, Montgomery, & Schoharie Counties

Join us for Kids Yoga on Saturday May 30th at 12 noon. Courtney Ortiz, certified yoga instructor, will lead kids in gentle yoga, a story, and related activities. This program is open to all, but best suited for kids age 4-10. Registration is preferred, but not required.

Please note, this will be the last Kids Yoga session until September. This program takes place in the Children's Department. There is currently no elevator access to the second floor.

One week from today, we'll be at Utica Public Library. Families with young children are welcome to join us.

Come and visit us next Tuesday!

We’re proud to bring together local organizations committed to supporting the mental health, wellness, education, and empowerment of our community at Breaking the Silence: A day of connection, healing, and community.

Tuesday, May 19
12:00–4:00 PM

In addition to community tabling, participants can also engage in wellness focused experiences.

This event is centered on creating space for healing, support, education, and meaningful connection because no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Thank you to all of our incredible community partners helping us break the silence surrounding mental health and wellness. We hope to see you there!

We are so grateful for our friends and partners at the Utica Public Library!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Utica Public Library has resources and materials for all ages that can help. Nobody is alone, help is here. The Library staff proudly wears blue today to show our support.

Thank you to Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN) for coordinating today!

More blue pouring in from our Utica-based team! 💙💙🤩🤩

The Healthy Families of Oneida County team works daily to support children and families. Today they did it in blue to raise awareness that together we can all work to prevent child abuse.

Healthy Families is a free, voluntary and fun, home-based program that assists expectant families and new parents with the changes that come with pregnancy and the birth of a child. Learn more here: https://ican.family/programs/healthy-families-of-oneida-county/

Shout out to our Rome Healthy Families crew! 🤩🙌💙

Our Oneida County Healthy Families team, in Rome, is helping flood our feed with blue along with Prevent Child Abuse America today to show what prevention in action looks like.

They work to identify strengths and challenges prenatally or at birth, and to provide appropriate information, care, resources and referrals to help babies get off to a healthy start. https://ican.family/programs/healthy-families-of-oneida-county/
