The unit supports districts and schools in Los Angeles County as they address the issues of nutrition, substance use, sexual health, and HIV/AIDS prevention. Our goals are to support students in developing appropriate attitudes and behaviors that will promote life-long health, and to help close the achievement gap by reducing personal, social, and physiological barriers to student success.
