SD57 hosting youth mental health fair

PRINCE GEORGE — With families getting settled into the school year health and wellness issues can become more noticeable. Local community service providers, like intersect Youth and Family services notice there are more inquiries in October than at any other time of year.

In order to help parents and youth find those resources School District 57 is bringing a variety of local service providers together on October 18, for a Children and Youth Mental Health and Wellness fair.

Families often don’t know where to turn for immediate support for mental health and wellness support. We are hoping by bringing all these service providers to one place families can easily identify what is available immediately and long term to help their children cope with the pressures in school and beyond,
