On June 13-14, 2012, the West Virginia Department of Education-Office of Healthy Schools, West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Marshall University School Health Technical Assistance Center and the West Virginia Immunization Network will combine various summer conferences and workshops that have previously been held separately into one statewide conference again. The conference will address the health and safety of students in three tracks: instruction, service delivery (school health including immunizations) and school climate.

Appropriate audiences include but are not limited to: school administrators, teachers, school nurses, school counselors, mental health professionals working in public schools, school-based health center staff, pupil services personnel and public health specialists working with youth. The conference will be held at the Charleston Civic Center. Watch for registration information to be posted in the next few weeks.
