Welcome to the Student, Family and Community Partnerships component of Coordinated School Health. In this section you will find several CSH pilot sites success stories, a guide for developing School Health Advisory Committees, School Health Councils Guide, Fostering Healthy Youth Fact Sheet, Student and Adult Partnerships information, as well as resources and general information.

Involvement of students, parents, community representatives, health specialists, and volunteers in schools provides an integrated approach for enhancing the health and well being of students both at school and in the community. School health advisory councils, coalitions, and broadly-based constituencies for school health can build support for school health programs. School administrators, teachers, and school health staff in all components actively solicit family and student involvement and engage community resources, expertise, and services to respond effectively to the health-related needs of students and families. Qualified professionals such as principals, teachers, and school health staff, in partnership with students, parents, and volunteers provide leadership in this area.
