OTTAWA – Join us for the 2016 Canadian Forum on Public Education — Wellness in our school: Time to act! organized by the Canadian Teacher’s Federation (CTF) July 11‑12 in Montreal. The forum will provide an overview and generate deep discussions on wellness in Canadian schools from a variety of perspectives within the education community and mental health professionals.
“Wellness in schools concerns students and educators alike,” says CTF President Heather Smith. “It is a rising concern and reality that we’re all facing and that we need to address. We invite Canadian educators to join us in the discussion on the challenges that affect wellness in our schools and on how we can address these challenges collectively.”
