What is a CSHP?
A CSHP is a school health program that effectively addresses students’ health, and thus improves their ability to learn. A CSHP is not a new program, rather an effective way to utilize existing resources within schools and their surrounding communities to create programs that focus on the whole person, rather than just one area of health.
The 8 Components of a Coordinated School Health Program are: Comprehensive School Health Education, Physical Education and Physical Activity, School Climate, School Nutrition, School Counseling, Physical and Behavioral Services, Physical Environment, Health Promotion & Wellness and Youth, Parent, Family and Community Inolvement.
Keys to a succesful school health program include:
1. Administrative Support, 2. A Coordinator, 3. A Collaborative/Team Approach, 4. Strong School/Community Links, 5. Adequate Time and Funding, 6. Professional Development and 7. A Safe and Supportive Environment for Staff & Students.
CSHP's Health Initiatives can result in:
Reduced Absenteeism, Fewer Classroom Behavioral Problems, Improved Academic Performance, Greater Interest in Healthy Diets, Increased Participation in Fitness Activities, Delayed onset of certain health risk behaviors, Less smokig among students and staff and Lower rates of teen pregnancy
