Health Promoting Schools: Creating Healthy School Communities

This module will critically explore concepts and topics related to individual, school and community health.  These areas of focus will provide participants with a foundation for creating the essential conditions for a flourishing school employing a HPS approach.

Participants will

• think critically about their own knowledge, skills and attitudes related to health and well-being;
• apply their learning through sharing, listening and working together to find strategies that will create the conditions that students need to be healthy and successful;
• explore health promoting schools models, concepts and its implementation within the Nova Scotia context; and
• assess their own health-related values, explore health-related concepts and skills, and design a school-based health promoting schools plan. 

This module is open to all Nova Scotia Educators across the province and will be delivered virtually.   Facilitators will be Lori Sigfridson and Antony Card.  For further information please contact Sharon MacCuspic at This email address is being protected from spambots.
