Mental Health & Wellness

A student's mental health can affect their school performance, attendance and achievement. Positive mental health can impact learning, yet up to 20 percent or more of children and youth experience mental health problems at some point. 

Schools and families share a collective responsibility, not only to respond to a student's mental health need but to include the promotion of positive mental health and prevention of illness in our school communities.  Education, awareness and the de-stigmatization of mental health are crucial pieces of the puzzle.
