Speaking Our Grief, Finding Our Joy
We will soon be starting a 6-session grief support workshop for those who are coping with bereavement. The workshop will cover learning about grief, honoring and sharing about those we have lost, and supporting each other in our unique grief recoveries.
There is no cost to this workshop. The specific start date and time will be determined after we have a sufficient amount of participants registered. To register or learn more, email us at reachupswissvale@gmail.com.
Move Up
Move Up is a 32-session (about 1 year) behavioral weight loss intervention program conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Center for Aging and Population Health Prevention Research Center. It focuses on the “Keys to Healthy Aging”, healthy eating, physical activity, and behavior modification techniques. The purpose is to help participants improve their overall health, physical functioning, and fitness with additional focus on weight loss.
The Family Wellness Center is proud to host the Move Up program in Swissvale.

Health Fair
In September 2015, the Family Wellness Center presented a community health fair along with the Swissvale Library, National Networks Libraries of Medicine, Swissvale Presbyterian Church, and New Covenant Christian Fellowship Church.
The fair, themed “Encountering Wellness in the Community”, featured activities like line dancing, laughter yoga, zumba, health screenings, and other family activities.
