Hundreds of Ontario principals say they need more help to support students' mental health, a survey reported Monday as it exposed inequities in access to those supports across the province. "Principals and vice-principals continue to be concerned about the mental health and well-being of our students, post-pandemic," Patsy Agard, president of the Ontario Principals' Council, wrote in a statement accompanying the survey's release.
Part of the problem, Agard said, is there are not enough mental health professionals to meet growing demand. She said the government could look to fast-track mental health workers in post-secondary programs and improve school access to community-based mental health staff and resources. "A Health and Education Task Force could provide advice on policies, programs, co-ordination of services, and funding to address the currently increasing demands for mental health and well-being supports across Ontario’s publicly funded schools," executive director Annie Kidder wrote in a statement.
Why is that? Why are youth struggling with mental health after the pandemic? It couldn’t possibly be the pandemic response that is causing this?! Or the dividing of unvaccinated as dirty or sick people? Locking down everything? Arresting kids playing pond hockey?
