MARCH IS MIDDLETOWN WELLNESS MONTH
Get In On The Fun & Festivities For A Healthier You!
MIDDLETOWN, R.I. (FEBRUARY 29, 2024) – It is that time of year again! The Middletown Prevention Coalition will be hosting Middletown Wellness Month throughout March. A huge shout out to this year’s sponsor —People’s Credit Union.
The event offers health and wellness focused workshops and activities for our Middletown community. These activities will highlight various wellness practices designed to introduce and motivate participants to incorporate these practices into their daily lives to enhance their health and well-being. Activities will include Zumba for Health, healthy cooking classes, Narcan trainings, yoga classes and “Super Stress Busters” assemblies, just a few of the many workshops sprinkled throughout the calendar.
Programming has been created for the different sectors of our town: seniors, children, teens, families, teachers and other MPS staff, town employees and the recovery community to name a few.
Some of the workshops are being offered in collaboration with our great community partners such as the YMCA, Norman Bird Sanctuary, YANA, Middletown Senior Center, Middletown Public Schools, Hope Recovery Center, Common Fence Point Community Center’s Zumba Program and many more. A big thank you to all that are collaborating with us on this wonderful, robust initiative that targets the entire community.
Wellness Month culminates with a Community Dodgeball Tournament on April 5 sponsored by the Middletown Prevention Coalition, People’s Credit Union and Islanders Committed, the youth committee of the Coalition. Enjoy a fun, family-friendly competition between friends, teachers, colleagues and neighbors. The tourney has two divisions: Middle School at 3 pm and MHS/Adults at 5 pm.
