Without intervention, every three children born in 2000 is likely to develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime, and for children of color the likelihood increases to one in two.  Perhaps most importantly, there is evidence that this is the first generation that will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents if obesity continues. ICES Education has teamed up with The Center for Collaborative Solutions in supporting the State sponsored Healthy Behaviours Initiative  After School programs. Through this collaboration, ICES is piloting an array of healthy living practices in it’s programs to combat this serious issue. If you are interested in knowing more or wish to have this program at your school please contact ICES Education’s  main office (562) 434-5313.
