Mental Health Symposium

A Mental Health Symposium was held at École Leduc Estates School on May 7, 2024, to address the well-being of students and their families. The event was aimed at helping parents/guardians and caregivers of kindergarten – grade 9 students find resources and tools for fostering good mental health.

“I’m finding that more kids are coming into our schools with mental health struggles, which is starting to affect their academic performance,” said Kyla Donovan, the school counsellor. “If we can identify and target some of their struggles, provide them with resources, tools, and strategies, we can help improve their academics, friendships, and other aspects of their lives.”

Thank you to all the local organizations, educators, and mental health professionals who came together to make this symposium possible. Your contributions are paving the way for a brighter tomorrow.
