Mental health supports during the COVID-19 response

This is a challenging and stressful time for students and families across our community.

To help, we have developed a four-page tip sheet for Supporting child and youth mental well-being during COVID-19. In addition, we have created a Student Mental Health Supports postcard that summarizes mental health supports in case of crisis, urgent or non-urgent incidents.  

The HWDSB Helps app continues to be active so that students or families can anonymously share non-urgent concerns through that service, which will share it with staff who can help.  Also, School Mental Health Ontario has produced resources for How to support student mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Please share this information with those who can benefit from it. Stay safe and be well!
