MHISC cosponsors, with host schools, forums for health
educators to discuss issues which are important to them and their
students.
The forums are offered in different regions of the state for health
educators, nurses, counselors, deans, psychologists, advisors and
everyone who is involved in enhancing the wellness of the school
community. The regional forums will each meet several times a year in a
breakfast meeting format, hosted at different schools.
The participants will choose the topics for the meetings.
Participants will share concerns, challenges, curriculum, resources and
best practices. Each discussion will be framed by the relevant data
from the National ISHC) Independent School Database.
Several topics/ meetings to date are:
- Substance Abuse hosted by Watkinson School
- Self Harm hosted by Miss Porters
- Advisor Programs hosted by Hopkins School
