Give me some examples of what kind of activities or programs one would find in a Health Promoting School?
To be effective, a school needs to take a comprehensive approach, incorporating promoting a climate that not only promotes physical activity and good nutrition, but establishes a supportive environment to tackle a broad range of health issues, includingaddictions, mental health, and teen sexual health among others.
A health-promoting school, for example, might be promoting physical activity between and after classes, be championing the provincial Food and Nutrition policy, and taking opportunities within the curriculum to emphasize smart health choices on a variety of issues.
