Resources for teachers
In Saskatchewan we have healthy lifestyle resources available for teachers to use with students to help them make informed personal choices and adopt healthy behaviours related to cancer prevention.
Teachers can bring information about cancer prevention to young people while they are in an active learning situation before they develop fears and misconceptions. Therefore, a special goal of cancer prevention education is to help make youth aware that health in their adult years depends to a large extent on habits developed while they are young.
It is also hoped that, since students often communicate to their parents and other relatives what they have learnt in school, some of the information about cancer prevention may be disseminated to the community in general for the benefit of all.
If you are a teacher, contact our provincial office for more information on how to obtain resources.
