BWell Secondary Student Mental Health and Well-Being Leadership Team Wraps Up the Year

On May 7, 2026, the DCDSB secondary student mental health and well-being leadership team, BWell, gathered at the Pope Francis Centre for a day of connection and celebration. Throughout the day, students engaged in thoughtful conversations about mental health and well-being promotion, sharing ideas and experiences with one another. They also had the opportunity to learn from a presentation by speaker Roxanne Francis, exploring the different types of leadership and how they can build upon their leadership skills.

The day also provided a chance to recognize and celebrate the dedication and hard work of students over the past several months. Their efforts culminated in the development of a Mental Health campaign, which was prepared in recognition of Mental Health Week. Students took great pride in seeing their ideas come to life and making a positive impact within their school communities.

Our DCDSB Mental Health mascot Phoebee the Bee buzzed in to learn more about the important work being led by the BWell team and to experience the positive energy surrounding student-led mental health initiatives.

Thank you to all students and staff for their continued efforts and commitment to promoting mental health and well-being for all students across the Durham Catholic District School Board.
