Build healthy habits for your students now! Four years goes by in a flash…
Does your student know who their doctor is? That’s a question I ask almost every student. I do that to find out if they have an identified primary care provider (hopefully a pediatrician). I talk to the older students about how they will be accessing health care on their own when they are in college. Student Health and Wellness Centers in the University setting are uniquely designed to meet the needs of these young adults. Discussing accessing health care (beginning with knowing who your doctor is) with your student begins to empower them to think and function independently.
It takes a village- keeping our students healthy and safe is our highest priority. Give yourself permission to regularly speak with your own kids about safe and healthy behaviors. That includes drinking alcohol, substance use and sexual activity. Talk with your kids about what routines and practices will keep them stay healthy and strong so they have as many positive options to choose from in their future.
Please, let me know if you have questions or need support.
