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.
