The First Responder Alliance's First Family Wellness Weekend

Tuesday's Children's First Responder Alliance kicked off the first of many 9/11 Responder Family Wellness weekends.  The Wellness Day had workshops on such topics as healthy habits, relationship building, dealing with chronic illness and anger management for adults.  Children and young adult programs included resiliency, music, art, movement and yoga. 

 

 

Families enjoyed an interactive musical performance by Feel the Music that involved the percussion instruments each participant had designed as well as everyone enjoyed the humor of a Bill Cosby performance. 

 

 

A 9/11 Responder wrote us saying, "My family loved the activities and all of the love and compassion you offered!"  A professional staff of psychiatrists as well as specialists in the fields of music, art, dance, movement, stress management and more made the day possible and built a community of support and engagement.  All 9/11 Responders should save the date for June 12th for our next 9/11 Family Wellness Day!
