Canadian Mental Health Week from May 5-11, 2025, offers a powerful opportunity to spark change. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination – this year’s theme is “Unmasking Mental Health”, encouraging people across Canada to look beyond the surface and see the whole person. See the Mental Health Week School Toolkit for more information and to access free resources.  

The Saanich School District remains committed to wellness and the promotion of positive health in our schools and communities. Please visit our Mental Wellness Hub for ideas and resources for parents and caregivers, students, and for staff. You may also find further mental health resources and information for students, adults and school staff on the Ministry of Education and Child Care erase website under mental health and substance use.
