Helping Students Navigate Holiday Health Choices
The holiday season brings family traditions, celebrations, special foods, and time with friends and family. It can also bring changes in routines, social pressures, and added stress. For health educators, the holidays offer a natural opportunity to help students practice skills they can use to support their health and well-being. The Michigan Model for HealthTM supplies educators with tools to fill those opportunities with students in practical, developmentally appropriate ways through lesson units, classroom tools and family engagement.
