promote nationally the concept of health promoting schools.
-
encourage collaboration among existing agencies, professional associations, government departments and student and parent groups.
-
advocate and strengthen participation in school health activities and national and state policy development.
-
work towards the sustainability of health curricula together with other social and environmental issues in the total program of educational institutions.
-
establish a mechanism for the exchange of information, expertise and resources between states and jurisdictions.
-
act as an advocate for a comprehensive approach to health issues in school communities.
