JOIN FOR ME
• JOIN for ME was developed
by the UnitedHealth Center
for Health Reform and
Modernization.
JOIN FOR ME
• JOIN for MESM is a first-
of-its-kind, whole-family
program to fight
childhood obesity.
JOIN FOR ME
• It engages kids who
struggle with extra weight,
along with their parents, in
a series of group sessions to
achieve healthier weights.
JOIN FOR ME
• It happens through
healthier family food
choices, increased activity,
and lifestyle improvement
tracking.
JOIN FOR ME
• Each session is built on the
framework of group support,
learning practical strategies
and implementing change in a
family’s everyday life.
JOIN FOR ME• In the original proof-of-concept study,
JOIN for ME partnered with the YMCA of
the USA and the YMCA of Greater
Providence, R.I. The study demonstrated
that the combination of whole-family
engagement helped participants achieve
significant reductions in extra weight.
JOIN FOR ME
• After six months, 84 percent of
the 155 participants completed
the full program and achieved,
on average, a 3.5-percent
reduction in extra weight.
JOIN FOR ME• Equally promising is that parents
of participants also lost weight
in the study, opening the door
for new wellness models that
engage the entire family.
