Learning Opportunities

TARGET AUDIENCE: SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL AUTHORITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN THIS COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY WITH THEIR MENTAL HEALTH PLANNING TEAM, INCLUDING ALL SCHOOL, HEALTH AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

This Collaborative Community is designed to support implementation of the Working Together to Support Mental Health in Alberta Schools resource, and to offer schools and/or school systems and their partners support as they engage in using the resource to create comprehensive mental health strategies.

Generative and collaborative by design, this community will offer school mental health planning teams the opportunity to come together with other school authorities and their partners in the Calgary area to:

• learn together over time
• share ideas, practices, and resources related to designing and implementing mental health plans in schools
• have conversations with community partners about roles and responsibilities to promote collective efficacy, shared understandings, and effective practices for all

This Community offers a wonderful opportunity to learn alongside other schools and their partners as we grapple with questions about:

• identifying and interpreting sources of data to inform mental health plans
• shared roles and responsibilities in supporting a culture where the mental health of all learners is addressed
• selecting evidence informed programs and resources

In addition, all members of the mental health planning teams that join this collaborative community will gain access to a collaborative on-line space with opportunity for on-going dialogue and sharing of resources with colleagues.

This learning opportunity is being offered through a Mental Health grant from Alberta Education
