Overview

There are many different professionals that support students on their educational journey. On this page you will find the many professionals that support student health. Why is it important to address student health in schools? If students do not have their health needs addressed (both physical and mental) they are more likely to struggle with having the capacity to learn. Students who struggle in school are more likely to be absent, and chronic absenteeism increases the likelihood of adult challenges. The Collaborative Roles Guide details the many professionals who work in the school to support student success.
