A gateway to help schools stay safe and to promote health.

Welcome to our gateway to web information on safe and healthy schools. This project has been funded by the Population Health Fund of Health Canada. Much of the information presented here is derived from another project funded by the National Crime Prevention Centre, Justice Canada.

This website is a partnership among the following organizations:

Canadian Association of Principals (CAP)

	Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance      (CAHPERD)
	Canadian Association for School Health (CASH)
	Canadian Home Economics Association (CHEA)
	Canadian Counselling Association (CCA)
	Canadian Institute for Child Health (CICH)

The support for this project has enabled us to organize a vast amount of information into these areas:

	Links to several background documents and international sites providing background information on CSH (how communities and schools can work together for health) and some links that show how CSH is a worldwide movement.
	Links to an extensive number of web-based documents on safe schools where the primary purpose is to reduce the number of antisocial behaviours and incidents on students and staff. A number of groups in Canada are working to define this approach to Positive Learning Environments in Schools.
	A collection of web documents explaining  the different elements of CSH. In Canada, 25 national organizations has called this approach  Comprehensive School Health.
	Keep up with the news, reports and research on safe and healthy schools by checking out our What's New section. Please sign up for the School Health Listserve.
	Publishing a series of Trend Reports from a Canadian and international perspective with links to key documents available on the Web.
	Creating and maintaining collections of lesson plans and online learning activities on health and social issues.
