16 year old student Kyra Leddy helped launch Wellness Week with her fellow students at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton.
Wellness Week ran December 6-10th with a week packed full of mental health events for the school and community.
Kyra took it upon herself to launch the week saying she has seen many students struggle with mental health and felt it needed some extra attention.
Wellness Week events included an introductory presentation with Kyra and another student’s therapy dog. A virtual workshop sponsored by the Tanner Steffler Foundation, Kindness Day which invited students to view a video about people’s reactions to kindness and submit their own acts of kindness to social media and various team building activities.
Kyra also took over the mental health focused Instagram account for students set but last year by the school boards You Matter! Team.
