This document was developed for the Joint Consortium for School Health by Dr. William Morrison and Dr. Patricia Kirby of W. Morrison and Associates. While the views expressed herein are those of the authors, the JCSH wishes to acknowledge the many people who provided assistance by participating as key informants, critiquing early drafts, drawing attention to examples of good practice or sharing their personal knowledge. The authors hope that this document will encourage dialogue and action and result in improved outcomes for Canadian students. The British Columbia Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport and the Mental Health Issue Group, with support from the Public Health Agency of Canada, provided funding for this project.
