As we move away from the holiday season and into the new year, it’s important to check in with student and educators’ emotions and thoughts while prioritizing their mental well-being. To help with this, we are connecting educators and students with resources.
What is Bell Let’s Talk Day?
January 22nd is Bell Let’s Talk Day. This day promotes awareness, acceptance, and action to create positive change in mental health.
What resources are available to support students’ mental health?
Start the conversation about mental health in your classroom with Bell Let’s Talk day educator tools and resources (French).
The School Mental Health Ontario website also provides a range of resources such as the Wayfinder guide that provides curriculum based mental health literacy lessons, activities, resources and tips to improve mental health in your classroom.
