Mental Health and Well-being in Schools Framework
This framework was collaboratively developed by a working group of the BC School Centred Mental Health Coalition. The purpose of the framework is to support people who support the well-being and mental health of children and youth to understand and communicate a whole school community approach. The model can be used to situate and contextualize efforts to support mental health and well-being and show how they fit together to support all students. It can be used as a tool to identify different efforts and practices currently in place while also looking at the bigger picture.
