Health and wellness are supported in curricula, school-wide programs, and related policies.
TWBA (2012)pp. 169-180

Health-promoting schools are essential to the academic and personal success of young adolescents. This places a fundamental status to the placement of health in exploratory, related arts, or family and consumer life skills education.
- TWBA (2005), p. 154

Reasons to promote wellness
1. Poor health practices drain resources. 2. Behavioral, physical, and emotional problems
interfere with learning. 3. Youthful choices affect health.

Health problems are generally holistic. Solutions must be as well. Addressing one symptom and ignoring all the others or the problem itself has almost no chance of creating change.

What can we do?
• Collaborate with community organizations. • Weave positive health practices and messages into the
curriculum. • Create a healthy school environment. (Assess your school –
see Wisconsin DPI instrument on TWBA 2005, pp. 159-160.)• Research and develop a coordinated school health system.• Teach/practice negotiation, coping, decision-making, and
refusal skills. • Advocate for student health needs with parents and in the
community.
