Mental Health Strategy

At District School Board Ontario North East (DSB1), we understand that mental health and well-being are fundamental to student success and affect academic achievement as well as social and emotional development.

 

Our current Mental Health Strategy builds on two previous strategies and is informed by provincial and local data, DSB1 staff, student, family, and stakeholder voices.

 

The Mental Health Strategy continues to focus on fostering and sustaining mentally healthy schools through capacity building for staff, meaningful youth and parent engagement, and collaboration with community partners following an evidence-based, tiered approach to intervention to support students.

The videos below demonstrate first-hand evidence of actions by the Mental Health Team and their impact on students and families.
