Our team

School Mental Health Ontario’s Student and Parent/Caregiver Engagement team focuses on centering the voices of students, parents and caregivers in conversation about mental health and well-being within the school environment.

 

About the Student and Parent/Caregiver Engagement Team 

We work with adults and students to ensure that the ideas and perspectives of students, parents and caregivers are included in school mental health. This includes:  

  • Working with students, parents, and caregivers to hear their opinions and perspectives.   
  • Amplifying student, parent, and caregiver voice.   
  • Working with school staff to support student, parent, and caregiver engagement initiatives.  
  • Developing tools to support inclusive and effective mental health awareness, learning, and wellness promotion activities for students.
