The promotion of student well-being requires practical strategies that student trustees can bring back to their boards to create a lasting impact. Led by School Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON), this session will explore actionable initiatives that connect students to mental health resources and promote academic success through a well-being-first approach. With a focus on engaging parents and guardians to address stigma, as well as fostering meaningful conversations between student trustees and their peers, this session will equip trustees with tools to champion mental health in their communities.
