TLC is on the move and we want you to join us! Studies have shown that children need 60 minutes of play every day to stay healthy, be ready to learn, and reduce stress. Beginning Monday, April 2 and throughout the spring and summer, we will be sharing tips on ways children and their families can be more active, fun and healthy snacks and meals for families, and providing opportunities for the community to come together and be On the Move.
EveryMove
Join us on EveryMove to track your activity and find people to be active with in the community. Click here to join! Once you've created a free account, you can connect to friends and coworkers. Under membership, you can connect with your company and health insurance to see if there are any incentives for being active. If you use TLC On the Move as your company, you can more easily find others who are part of our initiative and see the leaderboard.
You can use the app to track your activity with plans to stay fit. You can use one of their pre-made plans or create your own. You can track your activity on the website or their mobile app, which can be found in the Google Play or iPhone stores. And, you can sync with Facebook, Twitter, and many other apps (such as Fitbit) to track and share your success.
Facebook
You can share pictures of you, your family, and your friends being active and posts of you On the Move through our the TLC On the Move group. Going hiking and want to have others join you? Post about it in the group and let people know when and where to show up. We would love to see the whole community being part of the fun and on the move. You can join us here.

TLC is On the Move, too
TLC Family Resource Center has invested 25 years in Sullivan and Lower Grafton counties, supporting and strengthening families with programs, support groups, education, and events. We're still going strong and looking for new ways to connect with the community and further our work with all families, children, and youth. In the past year, we have added new programs, started new initiatives, and added staff members to help achieve our mission of promoting optimal health and development for the children, youth, and families. And, now, we can add a move to a new location. The coming year is going to be full of new spaces and ways to support and strengthen families, connect with the community, and be part of all the wonderful things our area has to offer.
