NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx held a Girls Health and Wellness Resource Fair in the Bronx on Friday to highlight healthier lifestyles and encourage youth to embrace good habits.
A number of organizations participated in the event, which also included music, food, yoga and meditation for the community to enjoy.
“I want every young girl to take away from this that within their own hands and their hearts and minds they can do a lot for their mental health,” said Jillian Mckiernan, assistant director of wellness at the Ronald McDonald House in New York .
Organizers tell News 12 this is the very first event, but they hope for more in the coming years.
