Live Well San Diego

An annual highlight, the Live Well Advance Conference and School Summit brings together several thousand Live Well San Diego partners and others to learn together and collaborate on common efforts.

The event, co-hosted by the County of San Diego's Health and Human Services Agency and the San Diego County Office of Education, features a Superintendents and School Leaders convening, and multiple breakout sessions on important topics such as school attendance, supporting student social and emotional health, addressing substance abuse, and how student wellness connects to academic success.

A prime example of an enduring partnership to promote healthy schools is the collaboration between the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) and the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) that began in 2016 with the Annual Summit on Student Engagement and Attendance. In 2017 and 2018, HHSA co-hosted the Summit with SDCOE at a larger venue and coordinated a Wellness Provider Fair and breakout sessions. 

 Beginning in 2019, the School Summit joined the successful Live Well Advance, an annual celebration of the progress and partners of Live Well San Diego.

HHSA and SDCOE continue their valuable collaboration to support healthy school environments and provide resources to schools and districts. This growing partnership has resulted in an alignment of priorities and stronger ties between SDCOE, HHSA, schools, and community programs and services.
