Based in British Columbia, Canada, the Directorate of Agencies for School Health (DASH) was established as a not-for-profit society in 1983. DASH is a cooperative interagency network representing a broad range of local, regional, and provincial organizations and individuals acting as advocates for prevention activities that enable students to develop to their fullest potential.
DASH promotes Comprehensive School Health (CSH). The CSH model, commonly described as "a Healthy School", is a practical framework for students, families, schools, and communities to network and create plans to enhance student health and learning. CHS provides opportunities to all youth and encourages them to make healthy choices about their schools, lifestyles and communities in which they live.
