PRINCE GEORGE – The Board of School District 57 is acting on the requests from teachers, parents and the community that more needs to be done to support the mental health of students. Sandra McArthur is walking from Prince Rupert to Kamloops. Along her 12 hundred kilometre journey, she is trying to raise awareness about mental health. Four years ago, her son at the age of 28 committed suicide. McArthur says she’s glad the school district 57 is taking steps to improve mental health learning, however, more needs to be done.
