Mental Health Week has been a success with the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB). Student Trustee and grade 11 student at Valour School in Petawawa, Taylor Novosedlik, says they had a number of activities planned.
On Monday there was an outdoor colouring day where schools went outdoors during the lunch hour and used sidewalk chalk. Tuesday there was outdoor yoga offered by teachers and instructors and the other days of the week were personalized for each school.
The RCDSB student trustee says student mental health matters and wants to make sure everyone understands resources are available at each school for those who need it.
The Canadian Mental Health Association has recognized Mental Health week from May 2nd to the 8th, 2022.
