Wellness Walk sees LCSD students take time to reflect

It’s important to take time to reflect and local students got that chance on Thursday.

Lakeland Catholic Schools has been running a Mental Health Matters Campaign that saw kids take part in a Wellness Walk. 

Staff and students across LCSD were encouraged to take the 15-minute walk to consider what mental wellness means to them.

Teachers then followed up with students and discussed how the walk made them feel, how it impacted their mood, and how it affected the rest of their day.

“The Mental Health Matters Campaign Wellness Walk is really about having all of our students and staff take a moment to be present and think about what mental wellness means to them,” said Meagan MacEachern, LCSD Communications Officer. 

Through a grant from Imperial Oil, the division has been putting extra emphasis on mental health, a campaign created to help all students, no matter what grade they are in.
