Health and Wellness

Health and Wellness Program

The Health and Wellness program at Acorn Family Place connects with and strengthens the capacity of families, caregivers, children, and the community in their health and well-being.  

Responding to needs identified by the community, our Wellness Outreach Facilitator conducts activities and group programming to provide opportunities for families to learn more about health and gain tools for increasing wellness in their lives.  In addition, individuals can meet with our Wellness Outreach Facilitator for direct support in connecting to resources, working through challenges related to health and wellness, and navigating the health system. 


Acorn Family Place operates from an understanding that health is determined by the complex interactions between individuals, communities, and society.  Our programming strives to address the Social Determinants of Health and provides families with equitable opportunities to reach their fullest potential.

For more information please contact the Wellness Outreach Facilitator, Deja
