What is Integrity? Why is it Important?
Integrity is the ability to tell right from wrong, treat people with respect, and make ethical choices. It's an essential workplace skill and valued by employers, colleagues, clients and others in your professional network. Exhibiting integrity builds healthy working relationships because team members feel respected and know they can rely on one another. This creates an inclusive work environment that fosters productivity and success.
Equity is central in supporting mental health and well-being. This prioritizes identity affirming support of students and parents/guardians from an anti-oppressive and anti-racist stance. Supporting you is our priority. We are here to help with anything you need to support your mental health and well-being and to help you navigate the tools and resources you may need.
May is Multiple Sclerosis Month
The overarching goal of the MS Society is to invest in research that will provide the greatest benefit to individuals who are deeply affected by MS. Each year the organization is hopeful that its commitment to research will bring the MS community one step closer to finding a cure for this complex and often unpredictable disease.
