Promoting Positive Mental Health at St. Christopher Catholic School

Posted On Wednesday January 29, 2020

In celebration of Bell Let’s Talk Day, Grade 6 students at St. Christopher Catholic School took time to talk about mental health and what stigma means today. “Mental health is a lot like our physical health,” said Mrs. Pelosi, Teacher. “We need to find strategies to help us stay healthy.” 

The students talked about healing and hurtful words and the impact these words have on people. Students also shared positive messages of hope that they would send to cheer up a friend or loved one. Messages such as: 

  • You are amazing!
  • Don’t give up
  • Can I help?
  • Do you need a hug?
  • Heart and smile face emoji
  • Praying hands emoji
  • I’m here to listen
  • Are you feeling okay? 

Together, we can lend our support and help create positive change.
