On November 21, the Scott Young Public School (SYPS) Safe and Accepting Schools Team hosted the first-ever Mental Wellness Fair that focused on self regulation, mental health learning, and anti-bullying.
Throughout the evening, which took place during the school’s Student Conference Night, each classroom had a display that showcased strategies to support mental wellness and anti-bullying through student work.
Trillium Lakelands District School Board mental health counsellors, Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes, and Five Counties Children’s Centre were also present to provide resources.
“Parents expressed that they were intrigued by the learning around mental wellness and how their children could identify every day strategies to help themselves with self regulation,” said SYPS principal, Jennifer Whiteway.
