Do you work in a school with children? Be a mental health promoter!

Every Moment Counts (www.everymomentcounts.org) was created by Dr. Susan Bazyk to provide evidence-based supports, activities, and programming to promote positive mental health for children in schools. How to be a Mental Health Promotor is a free resource provided to help those adults who work with children in schools become more knowledgeable about the links between mental health and behavioral challenges,

It has become more common knowledge these days to know that many young children and their families suffer with poor mental health, lack of health supports, and behavioral challenges.

Every Moment Counts is designed to work as a multi-tiered approach to providing supports for positive mental health, and services for children who are at risk for mental health problems. It is also designed to be occupational therapy-led, and due to that, there is a heavy focus on embedding positive mental health strategies into the everyday routines & occupations of students at school.

And best of all, it's FREE! Start perusing this website and using these activities today! You will be sure to find plenty of downloadable and printable resources that you can start using in your school-based OT practice immediately.
