Healthy Harford Health Freedom Program

The goal of the Health Freedom Program is to encourage our community to release itself from the bondage of destructive health habits, sedentary lifestyles and to become more active. By doing this, individuals will be on the path to wellness and will live healthier lives by continuing to participate in some form of physical activity beyond the 6-week training program and the day of the walk.

This event honors those who traveled the Underground Railroad in their quest for freedom from slavery and those who assisted in the struggle. Walkers will walk in honor of an abolitionist, Quaker, free Black, or a former slave.

Each “Circle of Friends” Site will conduct a 6-week training program that includes training for walks, historical information, nutrition information and fun incentives! This will be followed by the 2007 Healthy Harford Health Freedom Walk in Historic Bel Air on Saturday, May 12, 2007. Click here for more information about the Health Freedom Walk.

Choices

Choices is a program about youth in Harford County ... about developing life skills ... and about understanding choices when it comes to drugs, divorce, bullying and peer pressure. Choices is a program for adults that want to gain a better understanding of the issues that confront our kids today and the resources that are available to help them succeed.

The actors in the program are students from the North Harford Middle School Traveling Company. In their performances throughout Harford County, the students use the important strategy of positive peer pressure to communicate healthy decision making.
