The easiest way to start helping families live healthier

Healthy Together powered by MEND is a family-based child weight management and healthy living program. It features multi-component design with nutrition education, behavior change and empowerment at its core and physical activity options. This program is the next-generation of the original and renowned MEND 7-13 program, but is now organized into modular sessions, allowing for more flexibility in delivery models, scheduling and cost. Healthy Together is very affordable as only one coach is needed to deliver its superior curriculum to small- or medium-sized groups, and venues can be smaller.
