Arkansas Administrative Rules 005.23.005 Definition Coordinated School Health (CSH)

3.09 "Coordinated School Health (CSH)" is an effective system designed to connect health (physical, mental/emotional, and social) with education. This coordinated approach improves students' health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities, and schools working together. The CSH approach consists of eight major components. Although these components are listed separately, it is their composite that allows CSH to have significant impact. The eight components include: health education, physical education/physical activity, health services, nutrition services, health promotion for staff, counseling and psychological services, healthy school environment, and student/parent/community involvement.
