Supporting mental health and wellness is an ongoing priority for the York Catholic DSB. We provide programs and supports for all our students and employees throughout the year, because mental health is just as important as physical health.
Today, we want to reiterate the importance of self-care, recognizing your feelings, having meaningful conversations about mental health and most importantly to seek help whenever you feel you need it.
If you are able (today or any other day in the year), please show kindness to yourself and others, lend an ear and listen when someone needs to talk, educate yourself to help you recognize signs of mental illness, and help break down the stigma associated with mental health issues.
