Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, ECE has developed, offered, and delivered a professional development training session on promoting mental health and well-being in the time of COVID, recognizing, as I've said before in the House, that there have been few professions as upended as teaching due to the pandemic. Mental health and counselling services continue to be offered for JK to 12 students, either in person, virtually, or over the phone. I will note that, in the early days of the pandemic, when students had to work from home, counsellors went above and beyond to try and contact students in any way they could. It obviously wasn't a perfect situation, but the efforts have been made throughout.

Teachers also, through their collective agreement, have access to a mental health program called Starling Minds and LifeSpeak. I just know from speaking with teachers around the territory that these are really valuable resources and they are well utilized. That's something that I know that a lot of teachers have relied on during the pandemic. There have also been virtual workshops and resources for education staff so that they are aware of and informed about some of the counselling options that they have because sometimes people think they don't have access when, really, they do. We want to make sure that everyone knows every avenue that they have. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
