The Halton District School Board is hosting Mental Health and Well-Being Information Sessions for Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Halton Hills parents/guardians in December.

The sessions will cover topics based on feedback from the parents/guardians.

Each special discussion will be led by a mental health expert in that area who will share their knowledge and provide helpful information and resources.

Sessions include:

  • Anxiety and Depression in Youth aged 11-17: Helpful Strategies  – Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
  • Building Executive Function Skills in Teenagers: How Can Parents Help? (repeated from last year) – Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022 from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Limited spots for the sessions are available, so registration is required.

Those registered can register by completing the Mental Health & Well-Being Information Sessions Registration Form.

Sessions will be held on Google Meet, where closed captioning is available in various languages. Registrants will be emailed a link to access the session. Sessions are not recorded.

Parents/guardians will have the opportunity to submit questions when completing the registration form or during the session. Additional sessions are being planned for January with more information available in the new year.

On its Mental Health & Well-Being webpage, the HDSB offers information for parents/guardians and students on mental health, ways to support positive mental health and well-being, and how to get additional support at school and in the broader community.
