Student, Family and Community Partnerships
Involvement of students, parents, community representatives, health specialists and volunteers in schools provides an integrated approach for enhancing the health and well being of students both at school and in the community. School health advisory councils, coalitions and broadly-based constituencies for school health can build support for school health programs. School administrators, teachers and school health staff in all components actively solicit family and student involvement and engage community resources, expertise and services to respond effectively to the health-related needs of students and families. Qualified professionals such as principals, teachers and school health staff, in partnership with students, parents and volunteers provide leadership in this area.
