Student Voice:
Advocating for Well-Being

Well-being is foundational to student success, and our Student Senate is leading the way.

​

As part of their commitment to mental health awareness and advocating for well-being, our Student Senate hosted the second annual Mental Harmony: Beyond the Stigma conference on May 7, 2025. This event brought together students from all 19 DDSB secondary schools for a day of learning, conversation, and connection, focused on breaking down barriers and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.

​

Through workshops, guest speakers, and peer-led discussions, students explored strategies to support mental health and promote well-being in their schools and communities. The conference wasn’t just about raising awareness; it was about empowering student voices and building a culture where mental health is understood, respected, and prioritized.

​

When students lead, change happens.
