Mental Health & Well-Being


At 天美传媒, we believe that mental health and well-being play a critical role in student success. Partnering with families and community agencies to help support and empower our students and address their mental health needs is one of the most impactful things we can do to help provide a learning environment where everyone can learn, grow and achieve.

Our vision for the mental health climate at all of our 天美传媒 schools is to create an environment where:

  • School staff works together with parents, mental health partners and other schools to become stronger together by sharing responsibilities and resources
  • Staff serve as mental health and well-being partners in the classroom and work with families and community agencies to mobilize support and access to service
  • Students understand and respect mental health and well-being and feel comfortable advocating for their own needs
  • Family members are empowered to support the mental health and well-being of their children
  • The voices of students, staff, parents and community partners contribute to an on-going mental health conservation that builds understanding

There is growing discussion about mental health in Ontario and the way we talk about it matters. This video by the CAMH Health Promotion Resource Centre explains the separate but interconnected concepts of mental health and mental illness, as well as what it means to ‘promote mental health’, in ourselves and in our communities.

Student Workbooks for the Grades 7 & 8 Mental Health Literacy Modules

New! Grades 7 & 8 Mental Health Literacy Modules

The Ministry of Education has introduced a series of three mental health literacy lessons per grade. These modules will be delivered by teachers to support the existing mental health literacy expectations within Strand D of the Grades 7 and 8 Health and Physical Education curriculum. The goal of these modules is to enhance the delivery of the curriculum and highlight the importance of mental health literacy.

These modules were developed in collaboration with School Mental Health Ontario. They were informed by extensive consultation with caregivers, students, and cultural and community organizations.

Schools will send communication home to notify caregivers of Grades 7 and 8 students that these lessons are being taught.
