What students say

We asked high school students why they liked our Health4Life prevention program.

Relatable characters and storylines

“The cartoons were very fun as you sort of became part of the story.”

“I couldn’t wait until I got into PDHPE so I could continue the story.”

Practical life skills

“After doing this program, I have actually made changes in my own lifestyle. This makes me feel better about myself, improving my mental health, as well as my physical health.”

“It actually helped me think about bad food habits I might have. I have since changed said food habits, and I feel a lot better about myself.”

What teachers say

“The program was well designed and easy to implement. It is difficult to hold students’ attention in fast-paced learning environments in schools, and Health4Life was able to do this extremely well.”

“I enjoyed the stories- the information provided was succinct and slipped into the story well, so that students wouldn’t have objected to being overwhelmed with facts and then claim it was boring them.”
