Belonging Is Key to Positive Mental Health Discussions

By Meagan Gillmore

Students want to talk about their mental health.

In 2015, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) reported that one-third of Ontario students in Grades 7 through 12 meet criteria for experiencing moderate to severe psychological distress—more than a 10 percent increase from 2013. This differs from students who self-report having poor mental health.

The same report said 16.5 percent of students self-report having fair or poor mental health. They just don’t always know where to turn for help. Researchers also found more than a quarter of Grade 7 through 12 students wanted to talk to someone about their mental health, but didn’t know who to go to.

Students are unsure of where they can go to discuss their mental health problems, even as governments pour money into mental health strategies and schools develop wellness teams. Some people may still feel embarrassed to talk about personal problems, like feelings of anxiety or depression, but that may be changing in some places.
