The Family & Community Involvement component of a coordinated school health program involves an integrated approach for school, parent, and community connections.  The synergy created from these connections and partnerships can enhance the health and well-being of students and school staff members. School health advisory boards, coalitions, and broadly-based constituencies for school health can provide a means to effectively build support for school health program efforts. Schools are encouraged to actively solicit parent (family) involvement and to engage community resources and services to respond effectively to the health-related needs of students and school staff members.
