Mentally Healthy Schools

WCDSB and UGDSB have developed in collaboration with Community Resilience Coalition (formally known as ACEs Coalition) an online learning module for staff called Promoting Mentally Healthy Schools and Resilience: Strategies for Educators.

The module takes about 2.5 hours to complete and those who complete it will be given a Mentally Healthy School Certified Educator Certificate from Community Resilience Coalition. A board email must be used to access the certification.


In the coming months, we will be hosting two opportunities to attend a community of practice jointly between UGDSB and WCDSB to discuss the module and best practices/ ideas etc. For those who attend at least one of these sessions after completing the module, they will get a Mentally Healthy School Champion Certificate from Community Resilience Coalition.


Key areas that are covered in the module can be found in the graphic below.
