The Whole Child Project is designed to facilitate school efforts in integrating health and learning. Schools can enhance their support systems by incorporating the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model in decision-making across academic, social, emotional, behavioral, and physical domains of functioning. Project materials guide work in coordination of policies, processes, and practices relevant to school and child well-being.

The WSCC model includes 10 domains that work together in facilitating whole child well-being. Read our domain definitions.

Check out our WSCC Practice and Policy blueprints that guide practice and policy planning efforts around the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Model. Our CSCH Brief explains the WSCC Practice and Policy Blueprints and gives tips for how to get started.

Started in 2023, the Connecticut Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Partnership is a five-year, CDC-funded collaboration between the UConn Collaboratory on School and Child Health and the UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy and Health. Through the project, we support the implementation of evidence-based policies, practices, programs, and services consistent with the WSCC model. Learn more about our CT WSCC Partnership.
