Mental Health & Well-Being
NCDSB’s approach to mental health
Northeastern Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) has a mental health strategy that reflects our local needs, context, strengths and resources. We are committed to embed all facets of the mental health and well-being strategy into the culture of our district board and schools. In doing so, our board mission will be fulfilled as we strive to ensure the wellbeing of our students and provide quality Catholic education in a safe, nurturing, equitable, and inclusive environment that prepares them for life. Our current strategy aims to build on our foundational knowledge about mental health from year to year.
