Navigating Social Media and Teens | April 16 | 6:00-8:00pm  

The world of social media is constantly changing, and it can be hard to keep up. This session will look at some of the most popular platforms among Canadian youth and how to protect privacy and keep everyone safe. We will also discuss the effects of social media use on teen mental health and how to promote healthy social media habits in a digital world.  

Building Resiliency in Today’s Youth | April 17 | 11:30-1:30pm  

Before High School graduation, one-third of adolescent girls will experience depression, anxiety disorders, self-harm or an eating disorder. However, there is an incredible power in caregivers who can support our youth, both young women and men, before
they seek therapy. At Juno House®, we believe in the extraordinary healing power of parents, caregivers, coaches, and teachers. In our 1.5 hour workshop presentation, we will share steps and strategies from the Juno House Therapeutic Model® that will provide effective emotional coaching tools for today’s youth as they develop through adolescence and into young adulthood.

Student Vote! 

Students will be invited to participate in the Student Vote activity on Friday April 25th. This program is made possible through
CIVIX, which is supported by the Canadian government and Elections Canada. This activity will give students the chance to experience democracy firsthand, rather than reading about it. The students will have the opportunity to cast their Student Vote ballot for the federal election, with grade 9 students running and acting as polling officers. Students will have opportunities in their Humanities and Social Studies class to have discussions prior to the vote day.
