As we look ahead to Mental Health Week (May 6-12), it can be challenging to determine the best way to help students tackle topics as critical as compassion and kindness, which are always needed in greater quantities. This year, the theme of Mental Health Week is centered on the healing power of compassion. In a world plagued by suffering, it is important to remember that kindness is equally intrinsic to our humanity.

​Every year since 1951, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has hosted Mental Health Week and this year marks the 73rd​ year.

This year, the theme is centred on the healing power of compassion. Links to various resources are below. 

As well, Hats On for Mental Health Day is on Wednesday May 8, 2024, so pick an awesome hat to wear and we will be learning about supporting positive mental health.
