Beginning February 20th, all students in grade 10 will be participating in Teen Mental Health First Aid Training at Westwood High School. A letter went home this past week to all parents and guardians of students in 10th grade with information on the training.

Our partners in delivering the training will be offering an optional information night for caregivers and students on Wednesday, February 15th, from 6:30-7:00pm for parents/guardians and 7:00-7:30 for students. These are optional opportunities for people to learn more or ask questions. Below is a link and attached is a flyer with more information about the information session.
