Living with or supporting someone with a neurodevelopmental condition (NDC) involving risk factors may be a journey to integrate protective factors into health and wellness. Do you need help with your mental health? If you do not know where to start, this infographic may help guide you. https://go.usa.gov/xGfxz #shareNIMH
### Understanding Neurodevelopmental Conditions
Neurodevelopmental conditions encompass a broad range of developmental risk factors and may affect learning, speech, language, behavior, and social skills. I learn to recognize how each individual's experience with an NDC is unique, and therefore, different protective factors work differently for each of us.
Exploring the Virtual Healthy School: A Model for Integrating Health and Education for Each of Us
In the digital age, the intersection of health and education has never been more pertinent. With the rise of virtual learning environments, the opportunity to integrate health-conscious strategies into the educational framework is an innovative approach to foster student development. The Virtual Healthy School (VHS), pioneered by Jefferson School under the leadership of Principal Paul, stands as a testament to this progressive educational model.
The VHS is a tool and a dynamic, interactive platform to bring the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model to life. This model is an integrative approach and extends beyond the traditional focus on academic achievement to include the health and wellbeing of students. With navigating through the School Map, educators, parents, and students may witness how Jefferson School has transformed the virtual environment into learning opportunities for each of us to integrate protective factors into health and wellness with people with neurodevelopmental conditions encompassing a broad range of developmental risk factors because of how different protective factors work differently for each of us.
At the center of the map is the Health Center to help each of us navigate our journey from a central starting point of identifying health goals to evaluate how to balance protective factors from the range of neurodevelopmental risk factors for each of us. The Health Center features an Exam Table to evaluate specific protective and developmental risk factors, health videos offering healthy choices and another map of specific health services available with multiple organizations.
