Maine’s Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) nurtures our children and youth to grow into aspiring, productive, and healthy adults.
Our Mission is to join together with families, schools, communities, and State-level organizations to build a coordinated school health program that promotes and improves the health and education of all young people.
Our Program connects health with education in the lives of children. A coordinated approach improves students’ health and their capacity to learn through the support of families, communities, and schools working together.
An effective Coordinated School Health Program can:
- Reduce absenteeism and disruptive behaviors
- Improve student academic performance
- Better prepare students to be healthy and be productive members of their communities

The Coordinated School Health Program is a joint collaboration between the Maine Department of Education and Maine Department of Health and Human Services.
“Healthy kids make better students,
and better students make
healthy communities.”
