HEAL Houston Conference

In alignment with AFE’s mission of fostering physical and mental health among underserved youth and communities, HEAL Houston presents a full-spectrum wellness program designed to combine movement, nutrition, mental resilience, and community support.

Why HEAL Houston Matters

‍Many individuals and families in the Houston area face barriers to consistent access to fitness, quality nutrition, and safe spaces for self-care. HEAL Houston removes those barriers by providing structured programming rooted in evidence, anchored in community engagement, and tailored for real-life change. This initiative strengthens AFE’s mission — to create awareness of physical and mental health for young athletes and their communities.

‍

  • Active Living: Weekly guided fitness sessions with certified coaches, incorporating strength training, functional movement, mobility work and group activities that build confidence and resilience.
  • Healthy Eating: Interactive nutrition workshops, meal-planning education, “cook-along” sessions and practical tools (shopping lists, recipes, portion guidance) enabling participants to make smarter food choices.
  • Mental & Emotional Wellness: Building on AFE’s existing focus on conflict resolution, anger management and wellness education, HEAL Houston includes sessions on stress management, self-regulation, mindset and peer support — helping participants address the body and mind.
  • Community & Support: Participants join a cohort of peers, engage in weekly check-ins, share progress, gain accountability, and finish with options for ongoing alumni support and community activation.
  • Measurement & Evolution: At program kickoff each participant receives a baseline assessment (movement + nutrition + wellness), sets realistic goals, and receives periodic check-ins and a final wrap-up to celebrate results and pivot for next steps.
