Parent Focus Group on Student Well-being
Parent Focus Group on Student Well-being
YOUR input needed:
Parent focus group on student well-being. What does “well-being” mean
to you? How can students' well-being be supported at school?
The
Ontario Ministry of Education is looking to develop a K-12 student
well-being framework to help support the mental health and wellness of
all students.
CSPA
is hosting this parent session with Dr. Elizabeth Paquette (OCSB Chief
Psychologist & Mental Health Lead), to collect your ideas and
opinions to share with the Ministry. We know that students who have
strong relationships and a positive sense of self, are in a better
position to reach their full potential. Come learn more about current
initiatives in OCSB schools and share your ideas to promote well-being.
