News from the SCAAHE…

Hello SCAHPERD members! 

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and a new school year is about to begin or has begun for many of you! 

Throughout the summer, SCAAHE has been working hard to plan professional development opportunities for our members. On May 25th, we teamed up with Erika's Lighthouse and offered a free webinar "Promoting Student Mental Health in Your School."  Erika's Lighthouse provides free resources for the classroom, teen empowerment, and family engagement to promote student mental health in grades 4-12. On July 25th, we had SC Thrive lead Youth Mental Health First Aid training virtually. We will be offering this training again at the SCAHPERD conference in November. Lastly, on July 26^th  we hosted a CHE Lunch and Learn Webinar- Raising the Bar: Making Sure Your School and District is Compliant with Health and Physical Education Laws. where the Comprehensive Health Education Act, Students Health and Fitness Act of 2005, Ronald Rouse Law and Erin's Law was discussed. Big shoutout to President-Elect Rachel Fobare and Past President Lara Peck for putting these webinars together!

Lara Peck and the SCAHPERD conference planning committee have been working diligently to put on a great conference in November. Expect to see SCAAHE conference sessions covering topics like youth social and emotional health and sex/reproductive education strategy and lessons. Program coming out soon!

Finally, the SCAAHE executive board has been focusing on improving our communication outlets, specifically through quarterly newsletters and an updated website. Use the link below to check it out!
