ESTCA 2020

Whether you’re working with a student leadership team or your entire class, this session will introduce you to the tools needed to empower students to lead positive healthy change in their school communities. This session focuses on the priority areas of Comprehensive School Health: Healthy Eating, Active Living & Positive Social Environments. By combining wellness and leadership into one course comprised of 12 lessons & extension activities, students will gain strong personal well-being essentials, which they will be responsible to use in motivating their community to participate in healthy initiatives. With students taking an active role in improving their physical, mental, and social environment, they will become advocates of healthy change taking place – being part of the change instead of resisting it. The Be Fit For Life ‘Leadership & Health Promotion’ resource will be available for purchase to support the implementation of this program. This session is part of the Ever Active Schools Health and Wellness Symposium, presented by Deb Menard of the Be Fit for Life Network's Lac La Biche centre.
