Health & Wellness at the CBE
At the CBE, we believe in a whole school approach to health and wellness. We call this our Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approach. CSH is about healthy eating, active living, supportive social environments and positive mental health. As a system, we focus on the following four areas: healthy eating; healthy relationships; physical activity; and positive mental health. Each school creates its own approach and goals for health and wellness.

Ask for help early
Choose an adult you trust at school and a backup adult. You can say: “I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. Can you help me make a plan?” Ask your teacher how to request a check-in or a supported break before things become harder to manage.
