Wellness Walls are going up in every school across Niagara to provide a safe space for kids to talk, take-action and support fellow students about their mental health. Students from JK to grade 12 can put an anonymous message about how they're feeling on a post-it note on the Wall. Other kids are encouraged to post notes of support - some from kids who have had the same experience and share their coping skills.
The Wellness Walls are partnership between Pathstone Mental Health and the two school boards in Niagara. Andrea Bozza, the mental health lead at the Niagara Catholic District School Board, says it's no surprise that more children are experiencing high levels of anxiety because of the disruption of school caused by the pandemic.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
