MySchoolROCKS is a registered Canadian charity (# 787689520) and globally recognized NGOSource ED dedicated to addressing the issue of youth mental health. Over the last number of years, numerous studies have cited that incidents of youth in crisis continue to rise. A report commissioned by Children’s Mental Health Ontario stated that nearly half of the students surveyed reported missing school due to issues related to mental health (Beattie; Toronto Star: November 14th, 2017).
Alarmed by these troubling trends, MySchoolROCKS aims to engage young people through innovative methods that spark creativity while modelling strategies for life-long wellness. Supported by the framework of progressive music instruction and anchored by best practices in social emotional learning, Music and Wellness R.O.C.K.S. is an empowering program that inspires participants to embrace growth mindsets by “Thinking Like A Musician”!
