The mental health of students is beoming more of an issue in the Anglophone South School District.
Superintendent Zoe Watson tells CHSJ News an action plan is going to be developed. Part of that will be more training for teachers and guidance counsellors so they can recognise when a student is having difficulty coping and in need of help. Watson also says psychologists want to give a presentation to the District Education Council.
The “Celebrate What’s Right With The World” initiative, launched back in 2008, will continue which attempts to get students to think positively, look for possibilities to do better, fix what’s wrong and ride change.
In previous years, the focus had been on obesity and nutrition.
