Western researchers are expanding successful education programs to help vulnerable young people build strong relationships and prevent violence.
The Healthy Relationships program developed by Western’s Centre for School Mental Health (CSMH) of the Faculty of Education equips youth to work through questions and stressors that, when left unmanaged, can contribute to mental health challenges down the road. Aided with new funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the program will now expand its focus supporting rainbow and Indigenous teens.
