Prevention at the universal level is designed for all children and typically includes components of health promotion and risk reduction. To address the learning and wellness needs of all students, school-based and health professionals must concentrate on health promotion and systems-level coordination of services. This chapter focuses on specific classroom and schoolwide, universal health-promotion strategies that may be implemented in the educational setting. Topics covered include prevention and health-promotion programs that address healthy eating, physical activity and exercise, sleep hygiene, and mindfulness. Specific programs, strategies, and resources for each topic are presented. The chapter concludes with an overview of school-based consultation and implementation of universal health-promotion programs. Finally, the role of mental health professionals in providing services to students with chronic health conditions is addressed.

Abstract. The Flensburg health psychology group takes a salutogenic perspective and aims at developing innovative health promotion approaches. It stands in the interdisciplinary context of health and educational sciences. Our focus in research is on both, stress processes and lay representations of health and illness in the context of salutogenic theories of health. Basic and applied research activities aim at developing subject-oriented approaches of prevention and health promotion that are designed to promote health resources and competencies in selected settings and target groups. Current research is concentrated on socially disadvantaged groups, on occupational groups and on men to develop tailored health promotion approaches that reach groups in need and which show sustainable effects.
