Alberta Education hosting virtual ‘Mental Wellness Day for Schools’
The provincial government is hosting a virtual Mental Wellness Day for Schools.
The event will take place across Alberta on June 3 in order to support and recognize the resilience of students, parents, teachers and staff.
All teachers, parents, students and education staff are invited to take part in free online sessions on mental health and wellness. Activities will include a performance and message from Alberta’s own country music star Brett Kissel, as well as “inspirational messages” from members of the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and others.
There will be fun, age-appropriate activities for children and youth led by Alberta Health Services, Ever Active Schools and Jack.org.
