Our team of health promotion facilitators works in partnership with school authorities across Alberta. We use the comprehensive school health framework to help make schools healthier places for students and staff to learn, work, play, and grow.
We support school authorities and schools to:
- Assess their health-related strengths and challenges
- Identify school health priorities based on data, student voice, and traditional wisdom
- Develop and implement school health action plans (and to problem-solve, monitor progress, and identify improvements along the way)
- Infuse wellness into policies, procedures, and education plans
- Take part in virtual conversations and roundtables (so they can share stories and learn from others)
- Tap into AHS professional learning presentations, workshops, and facilitated conversations
- Connect with local AHS health professionals, and others in the community that support school wellness
- Get advice on funding opportunities and grant applications
Our team is currently working at a limited capacity in order to support the pandemic response. Email schoolhealthandwellness@ahs.ca to learn more about what we can do for your school authority or school.
