Mental Health & Well-Being

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 well-being.

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. We are pleased to share highlights of our goals, implementation and impact in the board's Mental Health Action Plan, which is available on our website.
