As families in North Dakota prepare for the new school year, the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is offering guidance to help children and parents establish healthy routines. The department is sharing information about resources that can support students as they return to classrooms.
"Back-to-school season is a great time for families to review their daily routines and make adjustments that support children's physical, mental, and emotional health," said HHS officials. "Establishing consistent sleep schedules, planning nutritious meals, and making time for physical activity can set students up for success throughout the school year."
The HHS also encourages families facing financial challenges to explore available assistance programs. Temporary cash assistance and work readiness resources are accessible to help those who qualify manage basic needs during this transition period.
Additional details about these programs can be found on the HHS website: https://www.hhs.nd.gov/.
For more information on back-to-school health tips or available support services, families are encouraged to contact the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services directly.
