Empower Youth & Families

According to the CDC, nearly one in five U.S. children and adolescents ages 2–19 has obesity, affecting approximately 14.7 million young people. The Thrive Together Youth and Families Program helps youth and families navigate weight and health with trusted information, expert guidance and compassionate support.

Through Thrive Together, families can find support related to:

• Understanding obesity and available care
• Body image and self-esteem
• Nutrition and physical activity
• Mental health and emotional well-being
• Addressing weight bias and stigma

Thrive Together provides a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment where youth and families can access science-based information, feel understood and gain practical tools to support their health and well-being.
