The Language Matters: An Introductory Guide for Understanding Mental Health and Substance Use resource is meant to help facilitate conversations, build common understandings, and support practice by defining and discussing key mental health and substance use terms and topics. This resource is designed for educators, administrators, school support staff and school community partners.
In this webinar we discuss the development of the guide, key mental health and substance use concepts in the guide, their relevance to child and youth mental health and well-being, and ideas for how the guide can be used in your schools and communities.
