Mental Health Initiativeness in Edmonton' S Educational Institute

Table of contents

1.

Therefore, Mental Health Initiatives through School Boards and the of Alberta are in full swing by the help of Alberta Government. The issue is, are we still getting success to reduce mental health problem within student communities? Through my interviews, I have observed of its mixture opinion from the Citizens, Coordinators, and Principles etc. Coordinators and Principles are hopeful through their designed program but Citizens have questions. Some interviewers questioned on Government willingness, are they really going to be succeed to wipe out "Mental Health" problem? One of my question was, on the eve of Canada's 150 years in 2017, "Is Canada going to be Mental Health Problem Free Country in 2017"? Can we give this gift to Canada on her 150 years' anniversary? I received negative answer from our Citizens but positive answer from School authorities. However, to the conclusion, I would say, I am also hopeful that Canada finally be "Mental Health Problem Free Country" in 2017 if we really work on it seriously.
