May 2022: Campus Mental Health Strategy E-Update
We’re on a mission here at the Campus Mental Health Strategy to “make mental health everyone’s business”. Why? Because we believe that a child and family’s wellbeing and mental health is inseparable from their physical health. We believe evidence-based prevention, early detection and intervention can profoundly change the lives of children and their families for the better. We also believe in our staff, we know that with the right support and tools, we can make mental health everyone’s business.
