On May 1, 2019, Cambrian Heights students are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Students will also participate in coordinated lessons throughout the next couple of weeks on understanding mental wellness, and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental health.
You can learn more about Hats On! For Mental Health by visiting canwetalk.ca, a website sponsored by the Alberta Teachers’ Association and the Canadian Mental Health Association that includes a variety of mental health resources for schools.
The focus on mental health promotion continues during Mental Health Week, which is being held this year from May 6 to 10. Students who are mentally healthy are resilient and better able to learn, achieve success and build healthy relationships.
