About the Program
Since 1984, the Michigan Model for Health™ is a nationally acclaimed and evidence-based curriculum covering grades Pre-K through 12 that provides comprehensive school health education. View the Why Choose MMH page for more information.
The Michigan Model for Health™ addresses the common, but serious health challenges students face, including social and emotional health; nutrition and physical activity; alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; safety and emergency preparedness. This curriculum facilitates skills-based learning through lessons that include a variety of teaching and learning techniques, skill development and practice, and helps build positive lifestyle behaviors in students. View the MMH Core Components page for more information.
The major goal of this program is to motivate and assist students to maintain and/or improve their health, prevent disease, and reduce health-related risk behaviors while creating a partnership between home, school, community groups, and government.
