The ALCDSB will be participating in Mental Health Week from May 5-10, 2024.
This year’s theme is centered on the healing power of compassion. Being kind and compassionate to ourselves and others helps to nourish relationships and contributes to positive mental health. We all have the capacity to be compassionate, and we know that doing so can make an enormous difference. We emphasize that kindness is equally intrinsic to our humanity. "Because compassion connects us all."
To help promote Mental Health Week among students, parents, and the school community, our partner, Hastings Prince Edward County Public Health has developed the following materials for elementary and secondary school use. We encourage you to access these valuable resources. School Mental Health Ontario is promoting a message of Kindness and has supplied the following Faith & Wellness activities:
