Wellness Supports: In the Event of a Strike
Mental Health Capacity Building Program
The BRSD Mental Health Capacity Building (MHCB) Program works to promote positive mental health in children, youth and families in the schools and communities where they live.
Funded by Recovery Alberta, the initiative is based on research and best practice that demonstrates that mental and emotional wellbeing can be developed, nurtured and supported through promotion and prevention efforts. MHCB resources are available on the MHCB Provincial site.
MHCB provides year round programming with the aim of promoting positive mental health in children, youth, and families in communities served by BRSD. All BRSD schools have access to an MHCB Wellness Coach and Mental Health Capacity Building Programs.
MHCB programming builds capacity of knowledge and skills, and bolsters protective factors in children and youth so they can achieve the best possible health outcomes across their lifespan.
