'Healthy Together' is aimed at enabling parents to support their children's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development at home through doing enjoyable, practical activities either in school or at home. The programme was originally developed by ContinYou. Share in County Durham piloted the materials at Our Lady Star of the Sea School in Horden.
