Why was this program created?

Middle School Health Starts Here’s purpose is to address the issues which impact the health and safety of middle schoolers. This transition time is difficult for both the parents and the students. There are a lot of social, emotional and physical changes taking place. It can be overwhelming for everybody involved. This toolkit provides research and evidence-based information to help parents and to dispel myths. While the Roundtable is focused on increasing awareness of HPV vaccination and dispel myths about the vaccine, the program was created to address all health issues of middle schoolers. School nurses are often seen as a valuable resource for parents, who have questions about all aspects of tween health. This program was created to support school nurses as they answer those questions.
