Nursing Students at Connaught Elementary School
A Community Teaching Initiative of Nursing students (A.C.T.I.O.N) have been placed at Connaught Elementary School for their fourth and final year of the SCBScN program through the University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
The current clinical cohort of nursing students has been busy implementing mental wellness strategies within the community.
It is evident that mental health is a rising concern for our youth.
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (2018) mental illness is increasingly threatening the lives of our children; with an estimated 10-20% of Canadian youth affected by a mental illness or disorder.
