Grade 7 students were visited by the JCK Foundation this month to recognize the importance of speaking about mental health. Through their program, the JCK aims to cultivate an environment where students feel valued, accepted, and motivated to make a positive impact on their own wellness and that of their peers. They worked hand-in-hand with our grade 7 student to share their personal struggles with mental health as well as stories of hope and resilience. Students reflected and shared out on tough questions and were provided with tools and strategies to have conversations with their peers about mental health.
