Health Department

The goals of this course are twofold:

  • Students become aware of the ways that they can pursue wellness in their own life, in their own way

  • Students develop the skills to be able to do so

Throughout the course of Health and Human Development, the ongoing questions are:

  • What does it mean to be healthy?

  • What does it mean to be Jewish and healthy?

Three common themes are explored throughout the Health and Human Development Course which are:

  • Communication

  • Violence

  • The media 

Students examine how each of these subjects enhance health or create barriers along the path to achieving wellness.
