Coordinated School Health

Department Coordinator: Amber Savell

Coordinated School Health is an effective approach designed to connect health (physical, emotional and social) with learning. CSH improves children’s health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities and the schools working together. Coordinated School Health encourages healthy lifestyles, provides needed supports to at-risk students and helps to reduce the prevalence of health problems that impair academic success.

The CSH approach consists of eight major components. By definition, all Coordinated School Health Components work together to improve the lives of students and their families.  Although these components are listed separately, it is their composite that allows CSH to have significant impact. The eight components include:

  • health education
  • health services
  • counseling
  • psychological and social services
  • nutrition
  • physical education/physical activity
  • school staff wellness
  • healthy school environment
  • student/parent/community involvement
