Mental Health and Well-Being Sessions for Parents
The Halton District School Board is hosting Mental Health & Well-Being Information Sessions for parents/guardians.

Parents/guardians will have the opportunity to submit questions when completing the registration form or during the session. Additional sessions will be offered in January with more information available in the new year.
