KPR Mental Health and Wellbeing

Hello KPR, We have created a new twitter account to share and repost your Connecting to Be Well daily activities. February’s Be Well Challenge is all about creating connections. Please join us in completing this 28 day challenge. Use #KPRLetsConnect to show us your connections.

We recognize and value the important work of Mental Health Clinicians in our schools. We celebrate their essential contributions during Social Work Week in Ontario from March 6 - 12th.

Through caring relationships and welcoming and supportive learning environments, DECE's and early years educators set the foundation for success in school. You make a difference. Thank you! #EarlyLearning #SchoolMentalHealth #OntEd

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2022. On this day, we remember those we’ve lost to suicide and raise awareness about how suicide can be prevented. Just by taking the time to listen and check in on those around you, we can all play a role in the prevention of suicide.

Tomorrow is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Young people who are thinking about suicide are often worried that they’re a burden. Show your support by reminding them that you care about them. Check out tips for talking to a young person about suicide. kidshelpphone.ca/get-info/how-d…

Literacy is so important to mental health and well-being. Thanks to school staff, parents and caregivers for all you do to support children's literacy in Ontario. #LiteracyDay #OntEd

Our thoughts are with the Robb Elementary School community today. Some students may be coming to school with heavier backpacks than usual today. These strategies, from the National Association of School Psychologists may help children to reestablish security in the coming days.
