Key:  Additions   Deletions
Welcome to these wiki-based web pages that serve as a shared work space for professional researchers, non-governmental organizations and local agencies interested in promoting mental health through school-based and school-linked programs. The purpose of this section of the CSH wiki is to collect the educational, planning, assessment tools related to mental health promotion in schools. We also have a page on related news and events. This wiki is kept up-to-date by its members and is part of an ongoing knowledge exchange (Community of Practice) that includes:
  • the joint planning of a symposium and sessions at the annual School Health conference
  • webinars on selected topics
  • other activities organized by the lead organizations and individuals who are working together to create a community of practice on school mental health promotion
