WELLNESS WEEK - Tuesday, January 30 - Friday, February 2
Wellness week is a week-long initiative run by the student wellbeing committee to promote positive mental health and reduce mental health stigma within our school community. We are accomplishing this through our theme for the week which is, “healthy habits”. Each day, the student leaders have chosen a different mini theme of one healthy habit that the activities for the day are related to. The student leaders chose this theme because incorporating healthy habits into your life is a great way to promote mental health through smaller and more visible tasks.
On Wednesday, our assembly is based on the theme of “coping and connections”. We are honoured to have multiple student speakers share what this theme means to them and their journey regarding mental health.
York is also going to be supporting a charity called Youth Link during our ‘pay what you can’ Karma Koffee morning on Tuesday January 30. YouthLink is an organization that offers youth and family counselling, parenting support, youth shelter and housing, education programs and community-based programs for youth aged 12 to 24 and their families.
