The survey of over 1,000 principals across Ontario's publicly funded school boards reveals 91 per cent of schools needed support for students' mental health and well-being
Hundreds of Ontario principals say they need more help to support the mental health of students, as a new survey indicates regional inequities in access to those supports. The survey was released Monday against the backdrop of a number of recent reports finding youth mental health worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, with fewer young people reporting excellent mental health and an uptick in self-harm-related emergency department visits.
Meanwhile, it reports the number of schools with no access to psychologists doubled in the past decade, up to 28 per cent and 29 per cent for elementary and secondary schools, respectively.
