Health in Afterschool: A Prevention-Focused Approach

In this online session, we will focus on health best practices.

Afterschool and school-age child care programs play a vital role in supporting children's health.  In this session, supervisors will review state regulations related to health, and explore how they apply in afterschool settings.  Participants will discuss the growing prevalence of chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, severe allergies, and examine strategies to ensure staff are prepared to handle medical emergencies.  We'll also share approaches for partnering with families to better understand, and meet, children's health needs.
