It’s important to note that #BlackHistoryMonth can be difficult for some Black students. As caring adults, we can encourage students to take time this month for self-care and self-love—which are essential for the mental health and well-being of racialized youth.

Producers often live where they work and can therefore feel as though they should always be working. They may also feel pressure to work while the weather is favourable. These factors can make it hard for them to de-stress and relax https://t.co/4RlPuoNyfG #CdnAgDay

[UCDSB @UCDSB]

We always encourage open conversations about mental health. Let's actively listen, share our stories & support one another with empathy. Together, we can create a world where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. #MyUCDSBFamily #MentalHealthMatters

The holiday season is upon us. Between work, family commitments, holiday traditions, and everything in between sometimes the self-care gets a little lost in all of the commotion. Let’s not let that happen! #mhccHealthyHolidays #MentalHealth #SelfCare
