This is the time when our community needs these opportunities to access skills they couldn’t get as children and to provide these for our children and grandchildren when they are young. Social and emotional learning is so vital and required. Without it, the tragedies that are happening all around us, we need more unity, support, more compassion, understanding of all perspectives whether we agree or not, and above all else, love and kindness.

Schools are meant to be safe spaces where young people can learn, grow, and discover their potential — not places where they experience violence or fear. The recent tragic events in Denver and Utah serve as painful reminders of the urgent need to support students, educators, and families in every way possible. Lions Quest Canada stands with all those impacted by these traumatic events. We know that social and emotional learning, mental health supports, and community well-being are not optional — they are essential to creating safe, nurturing environments for all. Together, we must continue to prioritize programs and practices that foster resilience, empathy, and safety in every school. #LionsQuestCanada #SEL #SafeSchools #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityWellBeing (fb)
