Mental health is an important part of our overall health. There is no health without mental health. Mental health and physical health are related and affect each other.
We provide support for educators in the classroom with apps, lending classroom resources and websites that are geared to support the Ontario curriculum.
Visit our Health Topics page for more mental health information. We all have mental health and are all affected by it.
Creating a school environment and culture that promotes positive mental wellness helps students learn better and promotes lifelong healthy habits.

It provides an update of substance use in Ontario youth, updating data that were previously reported in The Health of Youth in the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit Region (North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit, 2012).

Half of the assets focus on the relationships and opportunities they need in their families, schools, and communities (external assets). The remaining assets focus on the social-emotional strengths, values, and commitments that are nurtured within young people (internal assets). |
