Mental Health Awareness Presentation to Parents-February 21, 2019
Dear Parents/Guardians,
TDSB's mission, it's "commitment to a board-wide culture that develops resilience in school communities, recognizes the profound understanding of the connection between mental health and student achievement, and the dynamic collaboration between schools and their communities. With students as our key stakeholders, their voice shapes our understanding of how we ensure mental health is a priority in every school community."
In supporting this mission, Fern Avenue Public School has connected with community agency, Family Association for Mental Health Everywhere(FAME), to share mental health awareness with parents. Since 1989, FAME has been empowering families and caregivers who have a loved one with a mental health concern by providing support, education, coping skills and self-care strategies. Their goal is to support families in learning self-care, navigating the system and to provide the comfort of knowing they are not alone.
The team consisting of Karen Naismith, FAME kids Manager, and Simona Matella will be presenting to Fern parents on February 21, 2019 from 6 to 7PM in the staffroom.
They will be able to answer questions as well as share helpful tips and resources that will help in navigating supports.
Please make an effort to attend this presentation!
Thanks,
Lorena Case
