on their work developing a Comprehensive Mental Health and Wellness approach in Yukon schools. What does comprehensive mental health mean to you? What mental health services does your school provide? What mental health services should be provided in schools and why? What are the gaps or barriers preventing the delivery of these services? How can well-being be addressed from a First Nations traditional perspective? As we talk about mental health, what is the most important thing to you that you want to be captured and considered in the discussion? Connect with your school council to provide your feedback by May 15. The Department of Education is working on several initiatives
that will affect schools in Yukon, including: Safe and Caring Schools Policy, Student Outcomes Strategy, and Ready to Learn Schools. If you would like more information about these, please contact your school council or CEAY. CEAY ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK
