School Health Department and the Role of the School Nurse
The School Health Department consists of a team of public health nurses (PHN), health promoters, and a nutritionist.
The schools in our region from each of our four school boards (Greater Essex County District School Board, Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board, Conseil Scolaire Catholique Providence and Conseil Scolaire Viamonde) as well as private schools are assigned to our public health nurses.

It is important for youth to be informed of what is known about the harms of cannabis as cannabis use during adolescence can increase the risk of negative health outcomes and social harm.
