Ontario Boosting Efforts to Combat Bullying and Support Student Mental Health

• Our priority is and continues to be supporting Ontario’s families by breaking down barriers so students can get back to basics and focus on what matters most – strengthening literacy and STEM in the classroom.
• That is why our government is investing $4.6 million in funding to school boards and organizations to promote safe school environments through programming, capacity building and development of resources and training to combat bullying and cyber bullying.
• This funding will support the following community partners:
  • Big Brothers and Big Sisters
  • Roots of Empathy
  • Kids Help Phone
  • Egale
  • Child Development Institute
  • Principal Association Projects
  • Victim Services Toronto
  • pflag Canada
  • Victim Services Durham Region
  • George Hull Centre for Children and Families
• Through these historic investments, the government of Ontario continues to support a safe and healthy learning environment where every child can reach their full potential without fear or hesitation.
