January 25th marks Bell Let’s Talk Day, a day committed to raising awareness for mental health in Canada. Mental health can be a difficult subject to talk about, and it requires a safe and supportive environment, especially for children struggling. Helping youth understand their experiences and emotions, supporting them, where they are at, and how they express themselves can be a strong step towards building strong and healthy mental health practices. The CTRC has put together a list of resources below, supportive of both youth, and those entrusted with their care.
Bell Let’s Talk has compiled a variety of resources dedicated to mental health, including tools for the classroom.
Jack.org is a Canadian organization dedicated to empowering youth and mental health advocacy that offers access to many resources.
