A School Wellness Council is an advisory group concerned with the health and well-being of students, staff, and families and can be a catalyst in building a healthier school culture. Participants will learn strategies for establishing a wellness council, recruiting members, and effectively creating and monitoring programs and events to improve health awareness in schools and communities. This workshop will provide information and tools to help council leaders to assess the school environment, initiate and sustain programs and policies, and communicate with school administration, parents, students, and the larger school community.
