In celebration of Black History Month, schools across the country are engaging in a variety of enriching activities and educational programs to honour the contributions of great Canadians.

February is celebrated provincially and nationally as Black History Month. Many educators and schools are honouring Black History Month by exploring the rich history, achievements, and stories of Black Canadians, aligning with our commitments to the BC Curriculum. The provincial Social Studies curriculum is structured around Big Ideas, Content, and Competencies that guide teachers in their planning and presentation.

For more information on the Social Studies Curriculum, please visit the official curriculum website at https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum/social-studies.

The Ministry of Education and Child Care, in partnership with adolescent clinical psychologist Dr. Hayley Watson from Open Parachute, will host three, free virtual sessions for parents, guardians and caregivers that will focus on practical skills you can teach your child and youth (ages 0-19) to prevent substance use and mental health needs. These sessions will build on a previous presentation, which focused on practical conversation tools for speaking about substance use prevention with your children/youth. The previous session is not a pre-requisite for this session.
Key takeaways for participants during this session:
  • Learn the factors that lead to substance use and mental health needs from a trauma-informed lens
  • Focus on prevention rather than intervention/response
  • Applies to parents, guardians and caregivers of all age groups (youth aged 0-5, 6-10, and 11-18)
  • Learn ways that these skills can be applied to yourself and the rest of your family to support the mental health of parents, guardians and caregivers
Participants must register in advance. Session dates are:
