The Healthy Learners Program is a partnership between the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Wellness. Public health nurses have been assigned to the school district to promote wellness initiatives. The nurses also act as a resource to support the delivery of the Health curriculum and as a consultant to wellness related issues:
- In-service education to teachers, i.e. resiliency wellness, etc.
- Promote positive parenting programs (designed for parents)
- Resource for community services (what's available to students and their families)
The Public Health Nurses also liaise with the District Health Advisory Community.
