Health Education
Teaching knowledge and skills to enable students to be social-emotionally, mentally and physically healthy for a lifetime, is the role of Health Education.
Comprehensive school health education programs are meant to equip students with the ability to improve and maintain their health and well-being, including disease prevention, social emotional health, substance misuse prevention, safety, and avoiding or reducing health related risk behaviors.
We provide support for teachers and educational leaders in health education programs, curriculum, content knowledge, instruction, and assessment.

The Michigan Model for Health™ is designed for implementation as a component of the core school curriculum, with each of the lessons lasting 15-45 minutes in length. Many lessons include activities and resource sheets to facilitate parental and family involvement beyond the classroom. The curriculum can be implemented in public, private, or alternative schools.
