Whole Child Health and School Health

Establishing healthy behaviors during childhood is easier and more effective than trying to change unhealthy behaviors during adulthood. Schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behaviors.

Trainings offered include social emotional learning, HIV/sexuality health education, mental health, the Michigan Model for Health, nutrition education, and more.
