TUNICA – FAMILIES IN MOTION

The Community Health Council in Tunica County has partnered with Tunica Parks and Recreation Director Billy Willis, to implement the CATCH program at three Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the county.   CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) is an evidence based approach that brings schools, families and communities together to teach children how to be healthy for a lifetime.
