Child & Youth Mental Health
BC School Centred Mental Health Coalition Steering Committee Member, 2017-present.  The British Columbia School Centred Mental Health Coalition (the Coalition) was started in 2010 to advance the concept of “school connectedness” and the body of research and strategies that support the concept. The Coalition now has members from more than 70 organizations representing government ministries and non-government organizations, service providers, research agencies and institutions, advocacy groups, professional associations and the education system. This cross-sector, interdisciplinary membership helps to ensure that the efforts of the Coalition are relevant and accessible to a diverse range of stakeholders across school communities and the province in general.
The organization is led by a volunteer steering committee.  All members are volunteers.
