**DSBONE MEDIA RELEASE**

District School Board Ontario North East will be celebrating Mental Health Week from May 7th to 13th. The week will feature various school events, as well as a social media campaign on Facebook and Twitter regarding the “Five Ways to Well-Being.”

The Jack Chapter at Timmins High and Vocational School is a youth led initiative that works to change how people think about mental health in their school. On May 3rd, the chapter prepared cookies to “take a bite out of stigma”.

The cookies were offered to parents and staff during parent-teacher interviews.
