PHE Canada

Physical and Health Education Canada (PHE Canada) inspires all to live healthy, physically active lives. In 2012, PHE initiated a research project to examine child and youth mental health in Canadian schools. The research was intended to inform PHE Canada in the ongoing development of a national strategy to support mental health literacy in school communities. In partnership with Western University, PHE Canada identified gaps in teacher education and needs for supporting positive mental health for teachers and their students.
