The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø will be joining the conversation on using the hashtag #BellLetsTalk to help dispel the stigma around mental health, and to help promote and raise awareness about ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø programs, services and supports.
Every day, staff across the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø focus on creating learning environments that are safe, welcoming, caring and inclusive for each and every student, because we know that good mental health and well-being play a critical role in the success of our students.
Some of the many ways we do that include: raising understanding and awareness of the factors that can affect students’ mental health and well-being; talking openly, with each other and with our students, about the importance of having a caring adult they can turn to as they learn how to deal with life’s challenges; and supporting every student to develop optimism, self-confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø also provides mentoring and a range of supports for those students who may be experiencing greater challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, mood disorders and more.
