What is the PCCG?

The Parent and Caregiver Collaboration Group (PCCG) is a volunteer group of parents and caregivers from across the province working alongside School Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON) to:

share their ideas to inform resources and tools that support Ontario school boards to enhance student mental health and well-being
offer ideas on how to best reach and support parents and caregivers in the province with good evidence-informed information about mental health and well-being
amplify underrepresented voices of parents and caregivers to inform the work we do in creating identity-affirming resources and supports

The PCCG meets virtually once a month throughout the school year.
