Academic achievement and health go hand in hand. Data has shown that healthier students are better prepared to learn and are more successful in school. Schools want to provide programs and resources that ensure the success of every student and educator. A quality Coordinated School Health program sets the environment to do just that.

Watch this FREE webinar, and learn what your school or district can do to create a healthy learning environment, including:

• The impact that a coordinated school health program can have your students and staff
• Strategies for getting your coordinated school health program started
• Resources that can be used to address coordinated school health components

A coordinated approach to school health improves students' health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, schools and communities working together. Coordinated school health is a school-wide approach and commitment that supports and integrates the following eight components:

• family and community involvement
• health education
• physical education
• school health services
• counseling, psychological, and social services
• school nutrition services
• healthy school environment
• health promotion for staff
