This week is dedicated to mental health learning and awareness as we continue our Starting Well journey at KPR. Understanding how to approach the topic of mental health and well-being can sometimes be challenging. School Mental Health Ontario is a great place for parents and families to access trustworthy information about mental health and explore resources available through schools and communities. Learn more.
Starting Well
KPR is starting the new year off well, with a special focus on well-being and mental health this month. Join us on social media over the coming weeks as we highlight resources, supports and learning @kprschools!
Together to Learn
Well-being Starts with Community
Well-being starts with community
Well-being starts with community, and we are looking forward to welcoming students and families back to school after the winter break on Monday, January 6. Returning to school after a long break can be exciting, but it can also be stressful. We invite families to check out a School Mental Health Ontario resource with strategies and tips that may help your child return to school feeling connected and ready to learn.
To do well, it helps to start well! As we head back to school today and begin settling into classroom and learning routines once again, let’s focus on Starting Well together as a community.
This Start Well resource is designed for classrooms but offers great ideas and helpful links for at home too.
When starting well is challenging
When thoughts and feelings are big, they can make Starting Well challenging. Grounding exercises can help us centre ourselves and find calm in an emotional moment. These are helpful tools for both kids and grown-ups … give one a try together today!
