This is the event you don’t want to miss!

Featuring a 5k timed run and family-friendly walk, and so much more! Not a runner? Join the walk! Unable to walk? Attend the vendor fair and enjoy a free relaxing chair massage. Better yet, reduce your stress and flex your body while attending a free yoga session with Fred! That’s not all! The fabulous Wacky Patti (previously Pipper the Clown) is returning, also free! New for this year is an exciting WHEELS decorating contest and parade featuring a SUPERHEROES theme! Start by decorating your bike, wagon, stroller (anything with WHEELS!) at home like your favorite superhero then bring it to the event to join in on the fun! Show off your wheels to the judges and take part in the parade around the lake! Delicious smoothies by Healthy U Fitness and raffle basket tickets will be available for purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Past Events

2020

Family Guidance Center hosted a DRIVE-THRU Holiday Family Fun Event. Although COVID-19 changed our party plans, we were excited to still have a way to bring some holiday cheer to our community! A drive through our parking lot led to dancing elves, holiday music, and collection of a gift bag filled with goodies. Santa found some time in his busy schedule to bring all participants some holiday cheer!

Stress: Unique Challenges for Today’s Teens and their Parents
An Interactive Zoom Presentation

Multiple participants joined our therapist, Frederick Indenbaum, Ed.S, LPC, VIRTUALLY on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 for an interactive Zoom presentation. The presentation  addressed the teen years, which are filled with unique challenges as well as indelible life experiences. Discussion centered around common teenage stressors, coping, responses and symptoms of stress, and what can be done to help combat stress in a teenager’s life.

The Second Annual Mind Your Health was a go – VIRTUALLY!

Unfortunately, we felt it was in the best interest of both our guests and volunteers to cancel our in-person event due to the current COVID-19 guidelines. However, what do you do when you can’t share a great message in person? Share it virtually, of course! Visit our Mind Your Health page to view our message.

Our 2019 Holiday Family Fun Night was another success, despite the snowy weather! Thank you to all who braved the weather and showed up for crafts, music, dancing, gift giving and a meet and greet with our friend, Santa Claus. Your smiles really brightened up our holiday season. See you next year!

2019 Fall Festival
October 23, 2019
1235 Penn Ave., Wyomissing

Thank you, so much, to all attendees and volunteers of our very first Fall Festival! We saw lots of awesome painted and decorated pumpkins and masks, incredible frisbee artists, wacky balloon animals (and cucumbers), spooooky painted faces, and some pretty wicked dance moves. We certainly had a blast and hope you did, too!
