The program will run every Tuesday night from September 24 to November 19, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Dubois County Health Department in Jasper, Indiana.

The weekly sessions will include group discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and various activities designed to engage both children and adults. Parents or guardians must attend each session with their children, and childcare will be available for younger siblings under 7.
