Health & Wellness at the CBE
At the CBE, we believe in a whole school approach to health and wellness. We call this our Comprehensive School Health (CSH) approach. CSH is about healthy eating, active living, supportive social environments and positive mental health. As a system, we focus on the following four areas: healthy eating; healthy relationships; physical activity; and positive mental health. Each school creates its own approach and goals for health and wellness.

WISE GUYZ – Relationship and Healthy Sexuality Program for Young Men
Over the last thirty years there has been a great deal of focus on sexual and reproductive health programming for young women. This program focuses on the responsibilities of young men in the sexual and reproductive health equation. Students chosen for this program will spend 8 sessions (1.5 hours each) exploring sexual health and sexuality related topics with a trained male sexual health educator. The overall goal of the program is to provide participants with targeted information and opportunities to build skills to develop and maintain optimum sexual health and healthy relationships. The influence of gender stereotyping and masculinity on sexual decision making will be highlighted throughout the program.
