In these challenging times, we need to take care of ourselves and each other more than ever. During Mental Health Week, let’s put the focus on our mental well-being, raise awareness and continue to help each other to be #WELLinPEEL. cc- PDSB Mental Health Resource Team, PDSB Social Work Department, PDSB Staff Wellbeing

Throughout the week, staff, students and families are encouraged to participate & join the conversation in promoting mental well-being. Take part in these daily activities– Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give Back & Take Notice – and share on social media using #WELLinPEEL.

“In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.”

I am so encouraged to hear so many voices rising up... peacefully trying to enlighten and make change.

Black Lives STILL Matter

Today’s a good day to do the right thing.

Germs are found everywhere. Certain germs can cause diseases and make you sick. Washing your hands is the best way to stop the spread of infections. Read our #HandHygiene at SickKids info sheet: bit.ly/SK-hand-hygiene #partnersinpatientsafety #caringsafely

NDP Education Critic Marit Stiles blasted Ford: “I don’t think parents are looking for the thoughts and prayers of the premier of this province. They are looking for decisive action to protect and keep our children and education workers safe.” #onted thestar.com/politics/provi…

With 2 weeks left to school, we need *your* help. Doug Ford & Stephen Lecce have the *responsibility* to fund a #SafeSeptember but refuse to step up. Let's hold them accountable. Together. Elementary Educators ETFO Peel OSSTF Communications Catholic Teachers AEFO #OntEd #OnPoli

Take the time to thank the teachers and other education workers in your life..... it’s been a tough year for them, and they are digging really deep to make this year safe for our kids, for all of us. We see you. We appreciate you. Thanks. #onted #onpoli #SafeSeptember

As we head into #thanksgiving2020, please check in on each other. It is okay not to be okay & asking for help to either stay or get healthy is strong and courageous - not weak. Toronto.ca/CoVid-19 has important mental health advice. SickNotWeak City of Toronto 🇨🇦 Michael Landsberg 🇨🇦 🔯 🏳️‍🌈
