School Wellness and Prevention
Because healthy students are better learners, Eaton RESA is committed to helping school districts in Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties build supportive, healthy school environments. This work includes leading and implementing the Whole Child Model across the region.
Our mission is to provide quality services that promote health, strengthen protective factors and reduce risk for students.
Eaton RESA’s School Health and Wellness team serves schools and communities throughout the capital region of mid-Michigan. Our programs are primarily funded through grants from the Eaton County Juvenile Justice Millage, Drug-Free Communities Support Program, Michigan Department of Community Health, Michigan Primary Care Association, Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission and Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities.
Districts interested in participating in Regional Tri-County Whole Child Meetings or seeking school health consultation can contact Regional School Health Coordinator Christina Holmes.
