The School Health Interdisciplinary Program (SHIP) conference is a multi-faceted approach to continuing education. SHIP providers comprehensive training on coordinated school health. This conference focuses on topics vital to school professionals. SHIP is committed to advancing quality and sustainability in school health, with this year’s theme of Addressing the Needs of the Whole Child: What Works in School Health and Wellness. Training will focus on helping school-based professionals understand core concepts in the school health field, including best practice strategies and policies.
SHIP is co-sponsored by the National Center for School Mental Health University of Maryland; the Maryland Department of Health, the Maryland State Department of Education, the Maryland Department of Human Services; the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services; and the Maryland State School Health Council. This year we are excited to partner with the Maryland Assembly on School-Based Heath Care!
