The contribution schools can make to improving students' health
and wellbeing is increasingly recognised. Schools that have
embraced this role and adapted policies and practices to create an
environment in which young people feel safe and happy have reported
broad and significant gains.
Through expert contributions from active researchers and
experienced practitioners, Promoting Health and Wellbeing through
Schools combines recent research with knowledge of the current
climate in which schools are operating. Offering authoritative
advice on effective intervention, this book provides an overview of
the key issues that need to be addressed, including:
- alcohol use
- sexual health
- drug use
- obesity
- mental health.
This accessible text is innovative in its focus on how schools
can build partnerships with young people, parents, and health
professionals to promote their commitment to health and wellbeing.
It highlights successful approaches for promoting health and
educational goals, and provides useful advice on planning and
evaluation.
Promoting Health and Wellbeing through Schools is invaluable
reading for professionals working in and with schools to implement
healthy schools programmes and to bring about improvement in health
and wellbeing, including teachers, nurses, and health and education
managers. It is also of interest to students, researchers and
policy-makers.
