What
is a Coordinated School Health Program?
A
coordinated school health program (CSHP) model consists
of eight interactive components: health education,
physical education, health services, nurtition services,
counseling & psychologica services, health school
environment, health promotion for staff, and family/community
involvement. Schools by themselves cannot, and should
not be expected to, address the nation's most serious
health and social problems. Families, health care
workers, the media, religious organizations, community
organizations that serve youth, and young people themselves
also must be systematically involved. However, schools
could provide a critical facility in which many agencies
might work together to maintain the well-being of
young people.
