“HealthMPowers is one of those rare programs that is able to utilize the best of health education research in a way that truly works for schools and children. They continue to be a great resource to our health education program. The state-of-the-art mobile unit provides a one-of-a-kind experience. I feel confident that this learning opportunity not only contributes to the overall attainment of lifelong health living skills, but also provides the education community with a valuable sample of how technology can enhance the learning environment. Through shared research, training and consultation, HealthMPowers is also able to support health education system-wide. This is a contribution well beyond the schools directly served by the mobile unit. 

“…HealthMPowers has proven to be a valuable asset. The program positively impacts our students, families and the school staff. I feel certain that Georgia’s HealthMPowers project will continue to be a model for others in years to come. Support for HealthMPowers is an investment in the education, health and well being of our children…”

“HealthMPowers is an innovative, community-directed approach designed to promote health and prevent illness in children. It recognizes that the protection of Atlanta’s children requires strong health education programming for K-12 students, their parents and community leaders.”

Dear HealthMPowers, 
I just want to tell you how I enjoyed the information that you gave me. What I learned was to make sure that I don’t get in any cars when I know that my friends have been drinking because most of the time they can’t see or hear. I also learned that alcohol can give you blackouts. So for your information, I just want to say thank you for that very important information. I really enjoyed your time. 

Thanks,

Dear HealthMPowers, 
This week during health class, I learned important things about my body. I learned to check my heart rate. I learned how to read the food label to check for how much sugar is in the item or how much sodium. I really had fun this week. Hopefully, I’ll get to do it again next week. Thanks for your help! 

Your friend,
