General guidelines for health and well-being interventions in a school setting
Information sheet
Description
These fact sheets offer guidance for implementing health promotion and prevention activities in schools, based on best practices outlined in the ÉKIP framework. One fact sheet provides general advice to guide interventions, aiming to maximize the impact of these activities by adopting a positive approach with young people. The other fact sheets offer specific advice for each of the health themes addressed in the ÉKIP framework, taking into account elements unique to each theme, particularly to avoid undesirable effects. These themes are: Physical Activity; Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling; Nutrition; Infections; Oral Health; Environmental Health; Mental Health; Sexuality; Sleep; Smoking; Unintentional Injuries; and Violence.
All of these recommendations are useful and relevant for actions targeting young people as well as those in their various environments (at school, with families, and in the community).
