Grade 7 Mental Health & Wellness Conference: Level Up!

Today was the fourth annual qSD Grade 7 Mental Health & Wellness Conference!

Grade 7 students from across the district gathered at the Rec Centre for a full day of learning and connection as they prepare for their transition to high school. Throughout the day, students explored topics such as identity mapping, building healthy relationships, social connection, mindfulness, and managing stress.

Students also heard from keynote speaker Dan Nixon, a Youth Engagement Specialist with Foundry, who shared insights and strategies to support youth mental health and wellness. 

Thank you to all the Grade 7 teachers for their ongoing support in helping students feel prepared and set up for success, to the community partners who volunteered their time and shared resources, and to the Brooks Mental Health and Advocacy Group for connecting with younger students and taking the time to answer their questions.
