Research has shown that approximately 1 in 5 Canadian students has a mental health problem. Beyond the focus on symptoms and disorders, we are seeing a shift towards understanding that developing positive mental health is important to academic achievement and overall wellbeing.
We have developed a 2023-2026 Mental Health Strategy entitled Together for Mental Health: Everyone, Everyday, with a mission of creating caring and supportive Catholic school communities that promote well-being and maximize achievement of all learners.
