Engaged Educators and Communities to Support Teen Health with Mari Arandia and Erin Spillane
Description
At HealthCorps, not only do we work with teens to live healthier lifestyles — their families, schools, and local community get involved to sustain this positive culture of wellness!
In this episode of The Healthy Edit, HealthCorps Program Coordinators Mari Arandia and Erin Spillane share their experiences with connecting and nurturing healthier communities with the San Diego Unified High School District.
In order to support the health of their students, Mari and Erin first needed to encourage teachers and faculty to care for their own health — a challenge for many overwhelmed educators across the country. But with HealthCorps and SDUHSD's Wellness Council, schools now have empowered students, supported teachers, and local resources to live happier, healthier lives.
Special thank you to San Diego Unified High School District for supporting Teens Make Health Happen.
