DPCDSB's THRIVE in Community Newsletters:
Mental Health and Well-Being Guiding Framework (2022-2025)
Global events over the past few years have affected the daily lives of all students and families, creating a need for DPCDSB to be responsive to student well-being. The DPCDSB approach to mental health and well-being is faith-based, inspired by scripture, and rooted in human dignity. In line with Catholic Social Teaching, there is preferential concern for those most in need. The Mental Health and Well-Being Guiding Framework 2022-2025 shows how DPCDSB will respond to students' needs to be validated, motivated, and feel a sense of belonging. Well-being strategies are positioned as the foundational work of all staff to welcome and include students, to understand them, to promote mentally healthy habits, and create a supportive learning environment in which all students can thrive. The Mental Health and Well-Being Guiding Framework builds on the previous Guiding Framework, is an extension of the Board's Multi-Year Strategic Plan, a reflection of student voice, and an articulation of the plan to help each student excel. "The God of all grace will restore, support, strengthen, and establish you" (1 Peter 5:10)
DPCDSB's 2024-2025 Mental Health and Addictions Annual Action Plan
Accompanying the Mental Health and Well-Being Guiding Framework is the DPCDSB's 2024-2025 Mental Health and Addictions Annual Action Plan. Developed yearly, this plan outlines the system priorities and key actions for how staff will promote and mental health and well-being and respond to student, family, and caregiver needs.
