 β€‹Girl with WW CHILL pet therapy dogThe Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board recognizes that everyone has mental health and everyone's wellness is different.

Wellness is defined as 'being in a good state of mental or physical health.' It's not about getting by, but rather thriving in our environments and social world. Wellness is made up of positive connections with others and how we take care of ourselves; it includes our emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.

​​A culture of wellness is also being celebrated in many schools. Students are engaged in the practice of Acts of Kindness, Christian meditation and mindfulness while others are leading student wellness clubs, among other initiatives.
