Bell Let’s Talk has announced $1M in grants for 16 colleges, universities, and cégeps in Canada which will go towards supporting mental health initiatives for students. The funding will help support the institutions in implementing initiatives aligned with the National Standard of Canada for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post-Secondary Students or the Québec Action Plan on Student Mental Health for Higher Education. “The Bell Let’s Talk Post-Secondary Fund will contribute to the development of a pilot project to integrate psychological health concepts into certain courses starting this fall,” said Executive Director of the Cégep de Sherbrooke Marie-France Bélanger. “We hope this initiative will then be extended to all students.” News Wire Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
