What is Family Day?
. Family Day – A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children — is celebrated on the 4th Monday of September every year. It is a growing national effort designed to promote the benefits that come from families dining together on a consistent basis. Family Day was launched in 2001 by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.CASA Research consistently shows that the more often children eat dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use illegal drugs. Family Day reminds busy families of the invaluable roll that parental involvement plays in steering children and teens away from cigarettes, drugs and alcohol. Every year more companies, organizations and families join together to support Family Day. For more information: www.CASAFamilyDay.org.
