Schools as Public Health Institutions

Why are public schools such a critical place to integrate healthcare?

  • School counseling and mental health services: what are they and are they enough?

  • Addressing trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the classroom

  • How pediatricians and educators can collaborate for better student outcomes

  • The role of telemedicine in improving student health and achievement

  • Vaccination policies and school health mandates: balancing public health and personal choice

  • Addressing stigma around student health conditions (mental illness, disabilities, chronic disease)

  • Training teachers to recognize early signs of health issues in students

  • The future of school-based health programs and interdisciplinary collaboration
