Working together to support mental health in Alberta schools

Description

Current research clearly identifies the importance of mental health to learning, as well as to students' social and emotional development. Given the important relationship between positive mental health and academic success, schools have an important role in nurturing students' positive mental health and well-being. The goal of this resource is to help build a shared understanding of how schools, community partners and government can better work together to support mental health, to ensure that every student in Alberta has the learning opportunities and supports they need to develop positive mental health, be an engaged and successful learner and reach their full potential. Includes an information tool at the end to guide work around developing a mental health strategy.
