A Practical Toolkit for Montana Health Departments to Engage with Schools
We are thrilled to share a new resource for health departments to engage with students and schools!
Co-created with input from local health departments, DPHHS, educators, and University of Montana students and faculty, this toolkit is designed to help local and tribal public health departments build meaningful, manageable connections with K-12 students and schools.
Grounded in real-world practice and shaped by public health partners across Montana, this resource offers practical guidance, ready-to-use activities, and flexible engagement strategies that fit a range of capacity levels.
Not sure where to start? We provided a 1-hour training on how to best navigate and utilize the toolkit on July 23, 2026. A link to the recording is available along with the toolkit at the link below.

This toolkit was funded in part by the Montana Healthcare Foundation. The Montana Public Health Training Center is solely responsible for the statements and conclusions in this toolkit.
