Welcome to the Center for School Health. Founded in 2010, the center seeks to promote PreK-12 schools as epicenters for the improvement of youth health. Center faculty and research associates work collaboratively with schools to design, implement and research healthy school initiatives focusing on physical activity, healthy eating and nutrition, and comprehensive, school-wide approaches to wellness education and promotion.

Please take a few minutes to find out more about our center. You'll quickly learn that we're a fast-paced, productive, and multi-disciplinary team of scholars and educators working hard to understand how PreK-12 schools can facilitate the health and welfare of all children.

 

Sincerely,



Nate McCaughtry, Director

Registration for Frederick C. Neff Memorial Lecture: Enrich Your Life: The Expressive Therapies Continuum as a Path to Living Well
February 23 2012
Partrich Auditorium, WSU Law School
The Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) offers a way to understand how people have the abilities to take in, process, and share information through six equally important channels.  Usually people only use a small portion of these abilities and find their lives constricted and their self-expression stifled.  This lecture offers easy ways to increase your awareness, open all ETC channels, and enrich your life.   This lecture should be of interest to art therapists, artists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, teachers, graduate level students, and others would like to learn more about visual media or who are interested  in understanding and developing personal awareness and self-expression. Lecture is on April 20th, 6:00pm-7:30pm Dr. Hinz’ book, Expressive Therapies Continuum: A Framework for using Art in Therapy  will be available at Marwil’s Bookstore, 4870 Cass Avenue, 832-3078.
