When students arrive on center, the health and wellness staff members are among the first people they meet. As the most important team in overall student health, there are so many ways you can get involved. Here's how to get started:
Step
What to Do
Step 1
Administer an intake questionnaire.
When students first visit the health and wellness center for their cursory examination, use the
Healthy Eating and Active LifeStyles Questionnaire
to determine their needs. To help you interpret this intake questionnaire and begin an initial conversation with students, we have provided a guide entitled
Working 1:1 with Students
. This guide will help you identify both physical and mental health issues surrounding diet and body image and provide initial counseling for students.
Step 2
Use the
Obesity Chronic Care Management Plan
to help obese students.
Step 3
Check out the
BMI and Waist Circumference Considerations
tip sheet to learn about individual and cultural considerations surrounding BMI.
Step 4
View components for the TEAP specialist/CMHC and oral health staff. Determine how your team can collaborate.
Step 5
Review the student education curriculum. Various parts of the curriculum, including
Weight Management
and
Orientation to Center Life
can help you expand your role with this program.
