The purpose of the CSHP is to provide learning opportunities, experiences, services and an environment that will favorably influence those values, attitudes, practices, and cognitive capabilities, which promote individual, family, and zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcbaYWUTSRQPONMIHFEDCA community health. The CSHP is composed of 8 interrelated components: 1) School health education, 2) School physical education, 3) School nutrition services, 4) School health services, 5) Healthy school environment, 6) School Mental Health and Social Services, 7) Health promotion for school staff, and 8) Family/community involvement. The components represent the typical activities and services provided by schools to promote the health and safety of students, their families, and school staff. 5
