Slides and descriptions of top school programs will be provided. The second part of the session explores the practical and theoretical commonalities between the profession of school counseling and health education. Speakers will present and discuss identified barriers to coordination as well as recommendations for guidelines and resources to enhance the integration between the professions on campuses.
