Program focus: Mental Health

Strides Toronto has a long history of providing mental health consultation and support services to elementary schools in east Toronto. Targeted Prevention is a collaborative program where we work with the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic District School Board to offer mental health services that meet specific needs identified by local schools. The program goal is to support children in achieving success in their school and community. This is accomplished through consultation to school staff and through class-wide and school-wide presentations and activities with children.
