Coordinated School Health partnered with the Roane County Health Department to exhibit the first Teen Life Maze in Tennessee at Harriman High School on May 3, 2024! Health educator Ms. Matilyn Lands provided a detailed plan to increase knowledge and motivate our youth to make positive health choices. Principal Ms. Chasity Lowery graciously accepted this program, anticipating the benefits for her students. The Teen Life Maze consists of 10 interactive tables where students rotate and learn about various health topics for 10 minutes each. Stations included: Vaping/Tobacco Education Physical Activity Health Department Services Nutrition Healthy Relationships Hygiene Distracted Driving Human Trafficking/Social Media Mental Health (Stress Coping Skills) Financial Goal Setting A huge thanks to our volunteers and a special shout out to Matilyn Lands for her hard work and dedication in making Roane County "Shine" with the rollout of this fantastic program. Events like these provide crucial information and foster community support for students' well-being. Here's to many more successful Teen Life Maze events in Roane County Schools!
