Addressing Mental Health in Children: A Health Literacy Toolkit for Educators: Mental Health

Classroom WISE is a FREE 3-part training package that assists K-12 educators in supporting the mental health of students in the classroom. Developed by the Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) Network in partnership with the National Center for School Mental Health, this package offers evidence-based strategies and skills to engage and support students experiencing adversity and distress.

In addition to a free online course on mental health literacy for educators and school personnel, a video library and resource collection are also available.

The Toolkit program is made for youth, educators, school counsellors, and parents/guardians, who want to teach and promote mental wellness for Grades 4-7 and 8-12.
In our virtual Student Mental Health Toolkit, educators and school counsellors share documentary videos, mental health topics and personal stories along with interactive components for youth and teens in their classrooms, or at home.
NOTE: Requires free registration.

The Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide (the Guide) is the only evidence-based mental health curriculum resource that has been demonstrated to improve both teachers’ and students’ mental health literacy through usual teacher education and application in the classroom in a variety of program evaluations and research studies in Canada and elsewhere.
The Guide has been developed to help enhance the mental health literacy of students and targeted to be used in grades nine and ten (ages 13 to 15 years).

In this course, educators will learn how to apply this classroom-ready, web-based, modular mental health curriculum resource, which is designed to be delivered by regular classroom teachers to successfully address mental health related curriculum outcomes to students aged 12 to 19.

Getting Along Together has a three-pronged focus: students learn thinking and cognitive skills, emotional management, as well as interpersonal and social skills. Collectively, these skills and strategies create a peaceful school environment where students are empowered to manage their own behavior, decrease conflict, and increase receptivity to learning.

Includes publications, resource guides, webinars, and other resources on the topic of self-harm and suicide prevention.
