Welcome to Wellness Solutions for Massachusetts
Wellness Solutions for Massachusetts is an online resource for school community members to establish, implement and share effective wellness policies for their schools.
This project is in response to the Presidents’ 2003 Healthier US Initiative and Congressional concerns on children’s health as outlined in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act. The purpose of these initiatives is to help all Americans, including children, to improve personal health and fitness, by being physically active every day; eating a nutritious diet; and making healthy choices.
Wellness Solutions for Massachusetts is a collaborative effort between:
- Massachusetts Department of Education, Nutrition Health and Safety unit
- John C. Stalker Institute of Food & Nutrition at Framingham State College
- Massachusetts Action for Healthy Kids (MAHK)
- USDA, Team Nutrition
Together, these organizations are committed to promoting wellness by assisting and supporting Massachusetts school districts as they develop wellness policies. Through funding provided by a Team Nutrition grant to the Massachusetts Department of Education, we are able to make this resource available to you.
