Decision Support Tool for Classroom Teachers – Checklist for Educators for the Planning of Student Mental Health-Related Activities
Educators come across many mental-health-related resources, programs and initiatives. This decision support tool can help you differentiate between the ones that are helpful and those that can cause harm.
The tool provides a quick checklist format to help educators reflect upon and select, when appropriate, mental health awareness activities that:
- align with the board’s mental health and addictions strategy
- fit their local context and needs
- are safe for students
Awareness activities for consideration include:
- one-time presentations/guest speakers
- mental health videos
- social media campaigns
- evidence-informed suicide awareness activities
