The Coordinated School Health Program/Healthy Kids Learn Better Partnership is a statewide effort to help local schools and communities form partnerships and reduce physical, social and emotional barriers to learning.
Oregon's 55 School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are a unique health care model in which comprehensive physical, mental and preventive health services are provided to youth and adolescents in a school setting.
The Adolescent and School Health Program seeks to improve the health and wellness of adolescents and youth ages 10-24. We are guided by the goals we have written around the core functions of public health.
The Adolescent and School Health Program is part of the Adolescent, Genetic and Reproductive Health Section in the Center for Prevention and Health Promotion.
Focusing on public health issues, we provide guidance and technical assistance to schools, counties, health providers and non-governmental organizations.
A number of our programs have developed tools and compiled reports based on the monitoring efforts of our agency. We have identified essential resources around public health policy and national research considered useful for health professionals working with adolescent populations.
