ACHA is requesting member comments on two draft guidelines. The document authors will review all comments and make updates as necessary to the publications, then share the revised versions with the ACHA Board of Directors for final approval. We value your input on these important additions to ACHA’s library of college health and well-being guidelines.
Please submit comments by August 8.
Organizational Structure for Health Promotion in Higher Education
The Organizational Structure for Health Promotion in Higher Education document serves as a comprehensive guide for designing and improving health promotion departments within academic institutions of higher education in the United States. It offers a framework for those who are establishing or enhancing their health promotion units, providing strategies to effectively advocate for organizational structures that support and advance health promotion activities and actions.
Supervision Guidelines for Health Promotion in Higher Education
The draft Supervision Guidelines for Health Promotion in Higher Education (Supervision Guidelines) is the inaugural document to guide health promotion professionals who supervise employees, volunteers, staff, or students. These guidelines include sections about the types of positions a person may supervise, effective leadership theories and styles, setting standards and goals, mentoring, and providing feedback. These guidelines also provide guidance for supervisors to improve their skills.
