"I love doing yoga through Aim for Success as it helps me to stay calm and relaxed all day after" - Grade 2 student (girl)

During a parent teacher interview "I have been so impressed with the skills my child has been learning during the Aim for Success second step- specifically when they learn't how to use your hands to show strong feelings and what is happening in your brain. Our child has been using it at home to help express their emotions and feeling to us" - Grade 4 parents

"I love having the Aim for Success staff as a safe and caring support for me in the school. They have helped me to manage my anxiety and stress during my transition to the junior high school" - Grade 7 student

Mental Health
Positive mental Wellness is more than just the absence of mental illness. It can be seen as a state of mental health that allows one to flourish and fully enjoy life.Positive or good mental wellness is not something that we are just born with, it is something that we have to work at and develop. Having positive hobbies, interests and a positive support network around you are just some of the attributes that will help you develop positive mental wellness. Everyone experiences down times in life. The ability to cope with negative experiences varies greatly from one person to another and, in large part, determines whether people enjoy their lives.
