Health Promotion

The Roaring Fork Family Resource Centers provide health education resources to schools, teachers, students and families. Information may include speakers, print or video materials, presentations and other assistance. The Centers work with the schools to identify student needs and issues, and then develop special projects in response to those needs. Watch our monthly newsletter for upcoming events.
