Dr. Martin Leboldus Catholic High School is fortunate to have the Mental Health Capacity Building Initiative (MHCB) in our school as one of five pilot projects in Saskatchewan. ​

 

What is MHCB?​

MHCB is an initiative funded by Saskatchewan Health Authority.   MHCB is being led by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) with support from the Ministries of Health and Education.

  • The MHCB program works to provide programming and support to students, schools, families and communities in building their mental health and wellness capacity.
  • The MHCB Program provides prevention supports designed to build strengths while reducing the stigma of addiction and mental illness.​
