Presentations
Mental health and well-being model
Delivered by superintendents of learning, Jay MacJanet and Kim Williams, trustees were presented with the new TLDSB mental health and well-being model, which is aligned with the elementary and secondary panels of curriculum. The model reflects the goals of the 2022-2027 Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) Strategic Plan and Board Improvement and Equity Plans.
Williams outlined a three-year plan to ensure there is an increase in the percentage of Grade 4-12 students who indicate having a positive feelings of safety and inclusion at school. One of the steps in doing this work has been assigning the TLDSB mental health counsellors to a family of schools, where their time can be spent working in the classroom(s) and in small groups.
MacJanet gave an overview of the tiered model of support available for students within TLDSB, as well as the community support available to students who require higher levels of support. He also gave an overview of the programs offered for both elementary and secondary students.
