About the Whole Child Project

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.
