Can We Talk?
We can’t educate children properly if their physical and mental health needs aren’t meant. That’s why the Alberta Teachers’ Association, the Alberta Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and Global Television have partnered to keep mental health top of mind in the classroom.
Hats On! for Mental Health Day
On the first Wednesday in May, Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build understanding by wearing hats to school. Students will also participate in a coordinated lesson on understanding mental health and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental illnesses.
