What is the TDSB doing to support students’ well-being as they return to learning?
Returning to school after many months away will require time to address the social and emotional needs of students as well as continue to provide ongoing support to students who need it. All staff have a role to play in supporting students’ mental health and well-being. Investing in Well-Being and Mental Health is one of our guiding principles for reopening schools and we have a team working on strategies that will be shared with schools in the coming weeks. Re-establishing relationships and connections, offering support and building capacity of school-based staff will help ease the transition back to school and help meet the needs of students.
