Making Healthy Connections Quotes
MHC Mentor:"When I was a participant in MHC I learned how eating healthy can effect your mind and body as well as help you feel good about yourself. Now, I am just glad to be part of the MHC program as a peer leader so that I can give people some advice on health issues and hope they will learn from my experience."MHC Youth Participant:"I've learned that I can do or play anything or sport that I want to. I may do things differently than other people, but I can still do them. I also learned that if I can't or don't think I can do something, I should try it, no matter what the situation."MHC Youth Participant:[What does MHC mean to you?] "Finally finding a group of people I can relate to. Making a connection with people and being part of disability culture. It is an honor to be in an environment that is so accepting. Seeing the positive attitude makes me feel good."MHC Parent:"This was really the first time my son allowed himself to take part in something for kids with disabilities. He didn't shut down and realized, 'I am OK.'"
MHC Parent:"My daughter is now going to call in her prescriptions and schedule her appointments in a daytimer so that she can manage more of her health care independently."
