In this interactive and introspective workshop, participants will examine the importance of the relationship between values-based healthy boundaries and a comprehensive self-care regimen. Using research-based information as a guide, participants will identify specific barriers in their personal and/or professional lives that prevent healthy boundaries and self-care, discuss how to confront those barriers and learn communication tips and maintenance strategies to use in times of challenge or opposition. By the end of the session, attendees will identify both short-term and long-term concepts and strategies that they can tailor and use to improve their mental health.
Teachers across the United States feel the pressure to perform their job at the highest level while managing a classroom, varying student behaviors and administrative responsibilities. Teachers need outlets to manage the stress, but where do they start? The Healthy Teacher is a unique wellness program created exclusively for the life of a teacher. During this webinar, participants will become empowered with skills, knowledge and resources to integrate into their daily lives. Learn about ways to de-stress and excel both inside and outside of the classroom.
It takes a healthy village to raise a healthy child. Therefore, it’s up to the adults at the state level, in communities, at school, and at home to support healthy habits. Find out how you can join the movement to support students’ health from head to heart. South Carolina school districts share how they worked with state and community partners to use their fitness data to provide daily opportunities for physical activity before, during, and after school.
Reinforcing student health and learning in multiple settings—at home, in school, in out-of-school programs, and in the community – is a continuous act across a child’s life and requires an ongoing commitment as children mature into young adulthood. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the SC Department of Education recognize this commitment and are providing communities and educators with tools to help families prioritize healthy living and create thriving home environments. Find out why you should take advantage of free tools and resources so the healthy choice is the easiest choice for your students and their families.
The WSCC model is the CDC’s framework for addressing health in schools. It is a student-centered model and emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school, the connections between health and academic achievement and the importance of evidence-based school policies and practices. This webinar addresses one component of the WSCC model:
Family Engagement: Families and school staff work together to support and improve the learning, development, and health of students. Family engagement with schools is a shared responsibility of both school staff and families. School staff are committed to making families feel welcomed, engaging families in a variety of meaningful ways, and sustaining family engagement. Families are committed to actively supporting their child’s learning and development. This relationship between school staff and families cuts across and reinforces student health and learning in multiple settings—at home, in school, in out-of-school programs, and in the community. Family engagement should be continuous across a child’s life and requires an ongoing commitment as children mature into young adulthood.
Join the SC Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and the SC Schools Network for the 2023-24 Connecting Communities and Schools webinar series. The series aims to enhance collaboration between schools and communities using the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model as a framework to support student health.
Find out how schools and communities can work together to increase awareness of chronic disease and prevention while laying the foundation for good health and success in the future. During this webinar, you will learn how to build first aid skills for high school students through partnerships with community organizations that provide nationally certified CPR and AED training. Ronald Rouse’s Law ensures that each school district provides high school students instruction in CPR and awareness of the use of AEDs at least once during the entire four years of grades nine through twelve.
You’ll also gain valuable knowledge on how to create strong confidence in vaccines within communities using the SCDHEC Back-to-School Immunization Toolkit. Most people in the United States are vaccinated against widespread illnesses; however, some people do not trust the safety and effectiveness of vaccines because of personal experience or lack of information. When parents don’t vaccinate their children, it can lead to absenteeism and low classroom performance.
The WSCC model is the CDC’s framework for addressing health in schools. It is a student-centered model and emphasizes the role of the community in supporting the school, the connections between health and academic achievement and the importance of evidence-based school policies and practices. This webinar addresses one component of the WSCC model:
Health Services: Health services connect school staff, students, families, community and healthcare providers to promote the health care of students and a healthy and safe school environment. School health services actively collaborate with school and community support services to increase the ability of students and families to adapt to health and social stressors, such as chronic health conditions or social and economic barriers to health, and to be able to manage these stressors and advocate for their own health and learning needs.
