Feeling Good MN Steering Committee
The Feeling Good MN Steering Committee is responsible for assisting staff in all matters related to building healthy communities so that healthy choices are automatic, affordable and accessible. This includes:
- Encourage and support active lifestyles through the development of sidewalks, street crossings, bike lanes and other modes of active transportation that make it safe and easy for people of all ages to be active.
- Improve and promote the affordability, availability and accessibility of healthy foods in schools, the workplace and communities.
- Advocate for and support the implementation of enhanced policies that reduce and restrict smoking, and tobacco and e-cigarette use.
- Educate the community about the long- and short-term health effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Identify the tools and resources needed to address and prevent ACEs from having devastating effects on our communities.
