Framework for Coordinating School Health
This coordinated school health framework centers around eight critical, interrelated components:
Health education
Physical education
Health services
Mental health and social services
Nutrition services
Healthy and safe environment
Family and community involvement
Staff wellness
Individually, each of these components can contribute to students’ health and well-being. However, when all of the individual components work together to support the adoption of health-enhancing behaviors, students’ health and learning are improved.
