In recognition of World Mental Health Day this month, our latest podcast episode explores what mental health looks like for students. Claire Pijanowski, counsellor at Kerrisdale and Queen Mary Elementary schools and Joe Ritchie counsellor at Templeton Secondary join us to talk about why it’s important to pay close attention to a student’s mental health. Both counsellors share what types of supports are available at school and provide some mental health tips for caregivers.

Matter of the month: The municipal election, when school trustees are elected. Carolyn Broady, president of the British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA) and vice-president of the Canadian School Boards Association (CSBA) chat about how elections impact schools and students.
